Ben BelletBen graduated from the United States Military Academy in 2010 with a B.S. in Kinesiology, served a U.S. Army officer, for 5 years, and earned his M.S. in General Psychology at the University of Memphis in 2017. He is interested in how humans make meaning of trauma and bereavement, and how such meaning-making processes contribute to both symptoms and positive outcomes. His current research focuses on trauma survivors who “self-trigger,” or seek reminders of trauma in an effort to make meaning of their traumatic events. He has also conducted research on the role of trigger warnings in the appraisal of stress and self-concept, as well as other research on the relationship between complicated grief, self-concept, and positive outcomes of loss such as posttraumatic growth. He can be reached at bbellet@g.harvard.edu, and his research is available on OSF at https://osf.io/frxjv/. |

Shaan McGhieShaan McGhie (she/her) is a third year PhD student in Clinical Psychology. She completed her B.A. in Psychology at San Diego State University. Her research has focused on the dynamic relationships between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms as investigated through network analysis. She is also investigating the hypothesis that individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder lack insight into their internal states, through experimental work. Finally, she is interested in examining the viability of personalizing treatment using idiographic symptom networks derived from ecological momentary assessment data. She is a clinician herself and seeks to conduct research informed by this clinical practice. Outside of her research, she can be found hiking, reading fantasy, or baking. If you are interested in her work or wish to collaborate, please reach out; she aims to foster an inclusive and supportive environment with her collaborators and mentees.
