Licensed psychotherapist and Acting Chair @University of Göttingen (Germany) with an interest in pathological responses to trauma, treatment of trauma-related mental disorders, and comparisons (how we evaluate ourselves by means of comparative thinking)
New meta-analysis of our team (@University of Münster, Germany) published in @Journal of Environmental Psychology. Check it out. 📜👀
Small, significant long-term effects of social norm interventions on pro-environmental behavior: new meta-analysis (~22-month FU). Even small shifts matter at scale, but we need to boost effectiveness. Thank you Frederike Lemmel & @tholehoppen.bsky.social, #climatechange: doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

What’s the most effective way to deliver exposure therapy for anxiety? We tested:
🔹 Behavioural experiments (BE)
🔹 Cognitive restructuring before exposure
🔹 Habituation-based approaches
BE had the best outcomes.
🧠 How do you implement exposure?
