I am a trainee clinical psychologist would like to invite qualified therapists to attend an online interview about their experiences and understanding of self-disgust presenting in their clients.
If you are interested in taking part, you can email me at L.whiteman1@Lancaster.ac.uk
Self-disgust has been found to be elevated in people experiencing a wide range of different types of psychological distress, such as eating disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), post-traumatic stress, psychosis, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, anxiety, and some physical health conditions.
Self-disgust has also been found to impact outcomes such as risk to self. self-disgust plays a role across a wide range of human experiences of distress, showing it is transdiagnostic. However, little research has explored how interventions, pre-existing or new, may target self-disgust and impact people's psychological recovery.
This project proposes to explore psychological therapists' understandings and experiences of supporting clients with self-disgust. In line with the framework for developing complex interventions, the views of therapists can inform the direction of future research and intervention development in this area.
