(4/6) We found that: (1) contra-hedonic functions are not just present but prevalent, (2) contra-hedonic functions are most common for NSSI, and (3) contra-hedonic functions are consistently associated with a desire to self-punish.

New paper alert ⭐️! We make the case that truly trauma-informed assessment must also be dissociation-informed, providing process-related guidance.
We outline why dissociation matters in assessment and how to attend to contextual processes to be dissociation-informed.

My first dissertation paper is out in Nature Mental Health! 🤩
With colleagues from @tudresden.bsky.social and @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social, we conducted a meta-analysis on the link between childhood trauma and interoception — our ability to sense internal bodily signals.
