Sorry for the delay and the limited list here. I have been swamped with my other job last month and this month as well. I ended up regularly just not saving the links to papers and things I enjoyed this month so SUPER sorry. This is really just from the last couple of days but wanted to get something out.

Religion and Psychology

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1468-5906.t01-1-00160
Meta-analysis on religiousness/spirituality and psychological functioning among youth and young adults. Found that religiousness was positively correlated with psychological functioning.

Hood Feminism, unique intersectional critique of 3rd wave white feminists. I'm not in love with the book, there are a lot of limitations. However is given good language to a number of my critiques of 3rd wave feminists.

Flooding
Marshall, W.L. (1985). The effects of variable exposure in flooding therapy. Behavior Therapy, 16(2), 117-135. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0005-7894(85)80040-X
Old study on effects of flooding on anxiety treatment.

Keane, M.T., Fairbank, J.A., Caddell, J.M., & Zimering, R.T. (1989). Implosive (flooding) therapy reduces symptoms of PTSD in Vietnam combat veterans. Behavior Therapy, 20(20), 245-260.
Similar to Marshall but exploring flooding as a treatment for PTSD.

Schumacher, S., Miller, R., Fehm, L., Kirschbaum, C., Fydrich, T., & Strohle, A. (2015). Therapists' and patients' stress responses during graduated versus flooding in vivo exposure in the treatment of specific phobia: A preliminary observational study. Psychiatry Research, 230(2), 668-675. 10.1016/j.psychres.2015.10.020
Some weak evidence that suggests that flooding is more stressful for patients, but this is only subjective report. No cortisol differences between flooding and systematic.
