I am currently working on my PhD thesis within the Scientist-Practitioner Program as part of the Affect Regulation Research Initiative (ARPID). My thesis focuses on the role of interoception in placebo responsiveness, especially in the context of endogenous pain modulation (placebohypoalgesia). At the same time I am training to become a licensed psychotherapist with a focus on behavioral therapy at the WiPP in Landau since March 2020.
