SUMMARY:MonsterFest | Finding Light in the Darkness
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the last day of OCD Awareness Week and Halloween month\, we’ll explore our creativity by writing about the world without or the world within (either one with a ‘monster’ theme)\, or just a good-time spooky tale! \n\nTo receive the Zoom link for this event\, sign up for the The Imagination CREW (Creative Routes to Explore Writing) at https://www.tfaforms.com/4988358 \nBelow are choices for your consideration\, though you may always write about anything else if you wish. This announcement is being sent a little early so you have time to think about the themes\, as they may be challenging for some of us. If you choose to explore a theme of dark/light\, feel free to write the darkness part\, and consider the light part\, in advance\, then write the light part when we are together on Saturday. \nChoices: \n1. What mythical monster would you be in the world? What inspired this monster? What is its reason for existing? And\, what is the light to bring peace to\, and transform\, this monster? Does the monster help to bring about the changes that will lead to a new life for itself (having fulfilled its original purpose)? \n2. Name an inner demon of yours. Face it\, explore it\, describe it as creatively or as matter of factly as you like. Then\, consider what light you can bring to this darkness. How might you tame it and take away its power? This could be an exercise in self-compassion. \n3. Create a spooky or creepy tale for a bit of Halloween month fun. \nThe inspiration for this\, besides Halloween and mental health awareness\, is finding/creating balance. We face many challenges\, but individually and collectively\, we have the power and strength to face them\, improve\, and overcome; to find the light in the darkness. Let’s get together and do what we love: being a creative\, supportive community! \nFor introductions\, prepare to share what your ‘monster’ name would be\, and to name a favorite film or literary monster (and why). And\, for extra Halloween fun\, come dressed as a ‘monster’ or in any costume\, if you wish! \nI look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: An Online Introduction (November 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Avoidant/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 aged 10 through older adults. E\narly data from our preliminary efficacy studies indicate that\, on average\, patients who receive CBT-AR incorporate many novel foods into their regular diets\, gain significant weight (if underweight)\, and significantly reduce both ARFID symptom severity and food neophobia. Our 6-week course will cover the assessment of ARFID and determining patient appropriateness of CBT-AR\, as well as the implementation of all four stages of this flexible\, modular treatment. Material will be drawn from our recently published books\n(Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: Children\, Adolescents\, and Adults\, Cambridge University Press\, 2019; and The Picky Eater’s Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder\, Cambridge University Press\, 2021)\, cases we have seen in our clinical practice\, and our ongoing research studies on the neurobiology and treatment of ARFID. \nCourse materials are available beginning on November 3\, 2025\, and all online coursework must be completed by December 29\, 2025. \nPricing\nRegistration Deadline: November 17\, 2025 \nPhysicians and Doctoral-level Professionals: $445.00\nOther Professionals: $345.00
