How do we improve treatment outcomes in hoarding disorder? Emerging research suggests targeting social factors, so we did!
📡New article out, piloting a social cognition intervention in individuals with HD.
This was my biggest study in my PhD, so super proud of this one.🧵
Thinking about a recent person that made you angry, how many pins would you stick in their voodoo doll? How about in a neutral other person? 🤔
New paper OA in BJCP! doi.org/10.1111/bjc.12552.
We found hoarding was associated with > direct and displaced aggression.
Huge thanks to amazing collaborators Phaedra Fuller, @JessicaGrisham, Prof Tom Denson, & @TimpanoKiara 🙏
So excited that this book chapter (my first as well!) is out there in the world 📕.
Some key points
👉 IL techniques include ⬆️ learning of new associations
👉consider ways to enhance retrieval
👉 child adaptations incl child friendly language, incl parents, & visual stimuli
Excited to share the 1st book chapter I've contributed to! With case studies and practical examples of how clinicians can use inhibitory learning theory to optimise exposure therapy for children! @wentingchenn @melissaaji @AnnabelSongco @jenlhudson

Such an honour to be presenting at @ABCTNOW with the PADDY team and having PADDY accept the beautiful Mary Cover Jones award. So special to have been able to present in front of the family of the esteemed Dr Mary Cover Jones.
Symposium about to begin at #SMHR2024 on digital interventions in vulnerable populations, followed by some oral talks. 😁 should be an interesting one!!

Such a cool study!!
Very grateful to have some of my Phd research featured by UNSW 😊. In this study, @jessicargrisham, Keong Yap and I piloted the use of imagery rescripting to address difficulties discarding in individuals with hoarding symptoms. Read the media piece here: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/20…

Happy to announce one of the studies from my PhD recently got published in JOPBA as an OA article 😁 Here, we piloted the use of written imagery rescripting to address discarding difficulties in a high hoarding sample. Read it here: rdcu.be/dVKAf
Is hoarding associated with more anger?
My last PhD study suggests yes. Hoarding was associated with >angry feelings & >cognitive and behavioural expressions of anger. Anger mediated the rel between insecure attachment and hoarding too.
Available OA! doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2024.…
🧵2. Anger signals that we feel wronged or a need is not being met. Perhaps this presentation could encourage investigation of unmet needs. Maladaptive anger also could be a clinical target.
Thank you so much to Prof Tom Denson, @TimpanoKiara , Oskar Kocol, & @jessicargrisham
Huge congratulations Gemma!! So well deserved and very excited to see where this research goes 😁

We're inviting a small number of parents and their children (8-12 years) to test and provide feedback on a new digital program to help kids with anxiety. Participants will be reimbursed for their time 👉 bit.ly/40HHBfu

I’m a bit late, but it was wonderful to present at #AACBT23 with the rest of Grisham Lab (sadly not all pictured here as I forgot to take enough photos)! Lots of exciting work coming out soon in the areas of imagery, hoarding, OCD, anxiety and mindfulness!
Thank you for being there Jessamine! And despite what was said in the talk, I would never have hostile cognitions towards you! 😂, only tech problems. #TheOtherChen #AACBT #CBTworks
