Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Imaginal exposure for memories
A behavioral intervention in imagery for memories
Imaginal exposure for memories
Participants in this arm will be asked to decide alongside with the intervention provider (a clinical PhD student or M.A student under the supervision of the principal investigator) to imagine a script based on a past distressing anxiety provoking scenario multiple times while honing in on the most negative aspects.
Imaginal exposure for future events
A behavioral intervention in imagery for future events
Imaginal exposure for future events
Participants in this arm will be asked to decide alongside with the intervention provider (a clinical PhD student or M.A student under the supervision of the principal investigator) to imagine a script based on a future distressing anxiety provoking scenario multiple times while honing in on the most negative aspects.
Imagery rescripting for memories
A different behavioral intervention in imagery for memories
Imagery rescripting for memories
Participants in this arm will be asked to decide alongside with the intervention provider (a clinical PhD student or M.A student under the supervision of the principal investigator) to imagine a script based on a past distressing anxiety provoking scenarios one time while honing in on the most negative aspects. Afterwards they will insert changes into the script that try to help them cope in the imagery: First imagining the scenario from a different character perspective that enacts changes in the memories. Second, The will imagine the scenario again from the original perspective along with changes done by the additional character.
