Shifts in LGBTQ+ people’s understandings of troubling heterosexist experiences: Processing through emotion-focused expressive writing
A randomized controlled trial assists individuals with complex trauma and dissociation in Finding Solid Ground
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that adding FSG to psychotherapy of individuals with TRD results in improvements in emotion regulation, PTSD symptoms, self-compassion, and adaptive functioning. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Dissociation-informed assessment: Process-related guidance

Our findings suggest that inpatient treatment modeled after expert consensus treatment guidelines is associated with significant improvements in adaptive functioning and emotion regulation and reduced dissociative absorption in individuals experiencing severe and acute complex posttraumatic and dissociative symptoms. Appropriate screening and symptom-specific treatment of complex posttraumatic and dissociative symptoms are recommended to improve …

Some Handle It in Ways Others See as Insane: College Individuals’ Meaning-Making about their Motivations for Severe Unwanted Pursuit Behaviors
Purpose Post-relationship pursuit can range from normative to problematic, including stalking. While there are some theories and research about motivations for engaging in unwanted pursuit behaviors (UPBs), most lack the first-person perspectives of people who pursue. Little is known about the ways these individuals make sense of their behaviors and their related motivations. No qualitative studies have examined such meaning-making in non-forensi…
