SUMMARY:Bewilderment (Why Me\, Why Now\, Why These Thoughts?)
DESCRIPTION:As part of our continuing Lecture Series\, we are honored to host a virtual Zoom event featuring a presentation by Sally Winston\, PsyD\, on Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026\, at 7:00 pm. \nDr. Winston will explore the topic of Bewilderment (Why Me\, Why Now\, Why These Thoughts?)\, the often-overlooked experience of not knowing what’s going on in our minds. She will discuss how this confusion fuels distress in OCD and anxiety\, why information (not reassurance) matters\, and how understanding the process can bring real relief. \nA pioneer in the field\, Dr. Winston is a clinical psychologist who has specialized in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD for five decades. She is the founder and executive director of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Institute of Maryland\, located independently on the campus of Sheppard Pratt Hospital. She currently divides her time between Baltimore\, Vancouver\, BC\, and Morin Heights\, Quebec. She maintains a private practice and continues to guide ASDI. \nDr. Winston co-authored the following books with Dr. Martin Seif: What Every Therapist Needs to Know about Anxiety Disorders\, Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts\, Needing to Know For Sure\, and Overcoming Anticipatory Anxiety. \nHer website is anxietyandstress.com. \nWe invite you to register today for this exclusive presentation.

SUMMARY:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (MGH Online Course - October 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: October 19\, 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 aged 10 through older adults.

SUMMARY:Building Courage & Community: BDD Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:This year\, we are proud to host our 6th International Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Conference\, centred around the theme of Building Courage & Community through shared lived experience. \nOur conference is a unique opportunity to bring together the BDD community in a supportive\, hopeful\, and informative space. Individuals living with BDD\, loved ones\, clinicians\, researchers\, and mental health professionals come together to deepen understanding of the condition\, explore developments in treatment and recovery\, and hear inspiring stories from those with lived experience. \nThis year’s event places a particularly strong emphasis on the power of lived experience\, peer support\, and connection. Alongside our main stage talks\, we will be offering interactive workshops and support sessions designed to provide practical tools for recovery\, reduce isolation\, and help attendees build confidence and hope in moving forwards. \nBy creating opportunities for people to connect with others who truly understand\, we hope to foster a safe and empowering environment where attendees can take meaningful steps in their recovery journey and leave feeling less alone. \nThroughout the day\, attendees will hear from leading clinicians\, researchers\, advocates\, and members of the BDD community. Together\, these perspectives will offer a compassionate and balanced understanding of BDD\, combining clinical expertise with real-world lived experience. \nWorkshops and sessions will focus on practical strategies\, recovery-focused approaches\, and overcoming common challenges associated with BDD. Beyond the educational content\, the conference is also a space for comfort\, solidarity\, and connection. Many attendees tell us that simply being in a room with others who understand BDD can be an incredibly moving and hopeful experience.
