In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth , we are highlighting some of the work done by our #ABCT members. Today’s featured psychologist is Dr. Krystal Lewis (@DrKrystalLewis), a Clinical Psychologist and Co-Director of Education with the Emotion and Development Branch at the @NIMHgov. 
Dr. @DrKrystalLewis specializes in exposure-based CBT for pediatric anxiety. Additionally, she currently serves as the #ABCT Associate Program Chair. Dr. Lewis is passionate about training, mentoring and the provision of evidence-informed and culturally responsive care. #CBTworks
She also loves reading, playing tennis, and traveling! 📚🎾✈️
Given the interest with this tweet, I wanted to share some thoughts on how #ChatGPT also can be useful for brainstorming ideas (research, clinical, or anything really)... here are some examples, and a few caveats
Brainstorm project ideas with #ChatGPT by asking it for future directions in your field. This is pretty spot on for #impsci. You can drill down by asking follow up questions (tell me more about X).

Ask #ChatGPT for what could go wrong in a project as a premortum. This response is a great explanation for the null results in my diss (testing opinion leaders as a dissemination strategy), and would have been helpful to consider before starting the project.
🚨Tenure Process Update 🚨 Reached another milestone last week! My department unanimously voted to support my promotion and tenure! This is the first of several hurdles – wonder how the tenure process works? 🧵1/x #AcademicTwitter @PsychChatter #AcademicChatter #CBTWorks
Disclaimer – this is the process for my university and it is very transparent (unlike other universities). My process started with several talks with my mentors and direct feedback from my chair. I was in a position where taking additional time for COVID was a possibility 2/x
I created my dossier (CV, impact/overview, research, teaching, and service statements) at the end of spring 2022. I received feedback on these documents from many mentors. These are given to the chair to send out to external letter writers. 3/x

The #CBTWorks technique of Worry Exposure:
It is common for those with excessive and uncontrollable worry (the core feature of generalized anxiety disorder) to try to prepare for every contingency & "what if" in an effort avoid a feared outcome. *An educational thread* 1/n

Over time, worry, stress and physical symptoms of anxiety take over more and more of one's mental space and time and the thoughts or images of this feared or worst case scenario can feel like a threat which trigger the fight or flight response. 2/n
The #CBTWorks "worry exposure" technique is an evidence-based and effective tool for reducing the power of these worst case scenario thoughts and subsequently reducing worry and efforts to suppress/distract oneself from this thought or the feared outcome. 3/n

2/ Talking point emailed from VA central office: "Disseminating [same one-size treatments] through national training initiatives is appropriate given that these treatments have the most robust evidence of effectiveness."
Someone invested in "alternative facts."
JAMA or VA?

3/ Therapies in question were NEVER tested against relationship-based talk therapy as practiced by most psychotherapists.
How can a treatment have "most robust evidence" when never compared to psychotherapy as practiced in real world by most psychotherapists?

Need advice from the clinical psychologists out there: what are your must-have books/manuals/workbooks for evidence-based treatment? Looking to stock the library in our training clinic. Please RT! #CBTworks #CBTweeps #SoMePsychs #psychtwitter @ABCTNOW @ABCTAnxietySIG
@ABCTNOW @ABCTAnxietySIG I'll add Treating Bipolar Disorder by Ellen Frank. Any favorite IPT books? What about OCD recommendations?
