New paper, led by @laurenharris.bsky.social, finds that greater fluctuations in interoceptive attention were associated with increased risk for several forms of self-injury and disordered eating. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/eat....

If you’re considering clinical PhD programs and are interested in eating disorders, suicide/self-harm, and/or interoception, please consider applying to Auburn and the REDS Lab. I’d love to review your application!

I made a website! Just a little side project that's still a work in progress, but I've long been inspired to make an academic researcher page through GitHub. Link: cmcurran410.github.io Happy to take suggestions—web design is not my forte :)

Really honored to be invited to write this Nature commentary on Liu et al.'s great new meta-analysis on interoception and self-harm. The findings highlight that it's not just whether we detect bodily signals, but how we interpret and trust them, that may matter most for suicide risk. rdcu.be/frs9A

Excited about this! Interoceptive dysfunction is an established risk & maintenance factor for eating disorders, but few interventions target it. In our pilot, RISE-ED was feasible & acceptable in intensive tx and was associated w/ reduced interoceptive deficits: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be starting my Clinical Psychology PhD this fall at UMass Amherst under @danielcoppersmith.bsky.social’s mentorship, studying the progression of suicidality! I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for the support of my mentors at the EAT, REDS, and Tad Lab!

Access to eating disorder care shouldn’t depend on ability to pay. We opened a low-cost clinic at Auburn to help close that gap. I'm grateful for this feature highlighting the work: www.theplainsman.com/article/2026... More to come with Giving Day on March 25.

Research builds in the best ways. I presented our RISE interoception intervention 2+ years ago in CO, and Liz Atwood immediately saw the potential for youth. She ran with the idea & led this project adapting RISE for school-based health centers. Now the paper is out! psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...
