Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring in reducing breakup distress and promoting personal growth among Malaysian young adults. Cognitive restructuring is a therapy skill that focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts. The main question it aims to answer is: Are there differences in their breakup distress and personal growth after receiving cognitive restructuring compared to counselling? Participants will receive five online sessions of either cognitive restructuring or counselling. Data on participants' breakup distress and personal growth will be collected before and after completion of sessions. The hypothesis is that cognitive restructuring will reduce breakup distress and increase personal growth more than counselling.
