Speaking tomorrow at @Columbia GLASS series on "Thriving Under Pressure: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome". Imposter feelings aren’t just “in our heads, they’re reinforced by systems. The key is amplifying our champions and the doors we’ve opened, not just the walls we hit.

Those living with #opioidusedisorder deserve to have access to life saving treatment. #Methadone should be offered in a way that allows patients to live fulfilling lives, free of stigma. @EdMarkey's MOTA Act is the first step in that direction! Thank you @PsychiatricNews
This is the reality for tens of thousands of Americans in recovery—people striving for stability while bound by outdated policies that control not just access to care but the rhythms of daily life. https://t.co/0tNWHvqztn

Grateful to have contributed to this work with @DrEricGarland and @JPDeAquino examining how emotion regulation impacts cannabis use in the context of pain. Proud to be part of the team!
Excited to have our work with @DrEricGarland published in Drug & Alcohol Dependence (@CPDDorg)! Applying psychophysiological measures during an emotion reappraisal task, we show that emotion regulation capacity predicts #Cannabis use frequency more than #Pain severity among

Thrilled to share our new @ASAM Journal #Addiction Medicine paper! We found that childhood #trauma correlates with worse #pain, higher #alcohol use & earlier #cannabis initiation, highlighting the need for trauma‑informed care in #OpioidUseDisorder treatment. 👇

Our latest work explores the link between childhood trauma, substance use, and pain. Glad to see it published in @ASAMorg and contributing to ongoing efforts in trauma-informed care.

Help Julio Nunes support AFSP's mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
Before he began to run for fun 5 years ago, #yalepsych resident @jcnunes_md struggled to understand why long-distance runners chose to pummel their bodies. Soon he will join the marathon runners club as a member of the @afspnational Race for Hope team. https://t.co/IRl2VkXMNM

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

The NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office website has been taken down. LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately subjected to violence, discrimination & stigma, affecting their health outcomes. Ignoring these facts endangers us all.

New #yalepsych research!
Excited to share our new paper in @DrugAlcoholDep! We show a bidirectional link between #pain and daily #smoking: Pain doubles the risk of initiating smoking, and smoking doubles the risk of persistent pain. https://t.co/dRxoWz2OrV đź‘Ź Congrats to @Gabriel_PACosta, @jcnunes_md,
