SUMMARY:Psychological Flexibility: A New Way to Respond to Hair Pulling Urges and Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we introduce Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the idea of psychological flexibility — learning how to respond to hair pulling urges and difficult thoughts without getting pulled into automatic patterns. \nWe’ll explore how reconnecting with your values can guide meaningful change\, why trying to control or eliminate pulling urges often backfires\, and how small\, intentional actions can support progress without pressure or perfection. \nThis session offers a compassionate\, practical framework for relating differently to hair pulling and to yourself. \nSign up to receive the zoom link: www.trichstop.com/webinar

SUMMARY:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: An Online Introduction (February 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: February 16\, 2026 \nAvoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) was recently added to the Feeding and Eating Disorders section of DSM-5 to describe children\, adolescents\, and adults who do not eat enough food (by variety or volume)\, typically because of sensory sensitivity\, fear of aversive consequences (e.g.\, choking\, vomiting)\, and/or apparent lack of interest in eating or food. Although there is a robust literature on pediatric feeding disorders in very young children\, ARFID itself is so new that there is currently no evidence-based treatment for older children\, adolescents\, or adults. Thus\, our online course will fill an important gap for our colleagues who are already seeing such patients in clinical practice by providing specialized training in a new form of cognitive-behavioral therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR) that we have developed and refined at Massachusetts General Hospital for patients ages 10 through older adults.

SUMMARY:Strengthen Your OCD Practice: Ethics\, AI\, and Options for Care
DESCRIPTION:The field of OCD treatment is evolving\, and clinicians today face both urgent ethical questions and the reality that ERP alone isn’t always enough. This full-day virtual summit will prepare you to navigate complex issues\, such as: \n\nhow racial and cultural identity — including immigrant experiences — shape care\,\nthe ethical implications of AI in clinical practice\, and\,\nhow to respond when clients present with intrusive thoughts of suicide and self-harm.\n\nYou’ll also explore evidence-based second-line and adjunct therapies beyond ERP that can strengthen treatment outcomes.
