💭 70% of people with psychosis experience distressing intrusive images, yet therapy rarely targets them.

Imagery-focused therapy (tested in the iMAPS-2 trial) could change that, offering new ways to reduce distress and support recovery: buff.ly/jbM0TRo

Hi @mentalelf.bsky.social Many thanks for highlighting 😊 I will check it out 😎

I’m sure it will be a cracking Keynote @drjohnabaker.bsky.social 😎

The review highlights two existing measures for screening for postpartum anxiety. Existing #CBT evidence based protocols/therapies could be used to target some of the concerns e.g. intrusive thoughts, worry but work in more bespoke, tailored theoretical models & targeted therapies would good steps 😊

Thank you 🙏. I agree with Feldman et al. that 1st step is a unified definition of postpartum anxiety & longitudinal studies. There is undoubtedly a complex relationship between postpartum anxiety, sleep deprivation, breastfeeding and bonding - it needs to be better understood for better treatments.
