Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
24 patients will be randomized to 1 of the two treatment arms and treated with 20 weekly 1.5-2 hours therapy sessions. Independent evaluator and self-reports measures will be collected at intake, pre-treatment, session by session, post-treatment and and follow-up.
Hypotheses:
1. Both groups will show effectiveness, as revealed by reduction in anxiety severity and increase in valued living.
2. Changes in process measures (proposed mechanism of change - emotion regulation, working alliance, fear of bodily sensations, bodily/movement awareness) will be predictive of change in outcome measures (anxiety severity and valued living).
3. Changes in bodily/movement awareness will be more predictive of change in outcome measures in the CBT-DMT group than in the unified protocol group.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Unified CBT
Group psychotherapy according to the principles of the Cognitive-Behavioral Unified Protocol for Trans-diagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (Barlow et al., 2011).
Unified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
20 weekly sessions (1.5-2 hours each), based on the principles of the Unified Protocol for Trans-diagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (Barlow et al., 2011) adapted for a group format.
The treatment will include 8 different modules of varying length: motivation enhancement, understanding emotions, identifying and monitoring emotions, emotional awareness training, cognitive appraisal and reappraisal, emotional avoidance, emotion driven behaviors, awareness and tolerance of bodily sensations, relapse prevention.
Combined CBT-DMT
Group psychotherapy combining cognitive-behavioral principles and techniques with dance/movement therapy techniques.
Combined Cognitive-Behavioral and Dance/Movement Therapy
20 weekly sessions (1.5-2 hours each), based on combined cognitive-behavioral techniques (psychoeducation, awareness and tolerance of emotions, interoceptive exposures, in-vivo exposures, cognitive flexibility) and dance/movement techniques.
