Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares an experimental group that receives 10 weekly online I-Reconstruction group therapy sessions with a control group receiving usual care. Sessions combine guided breathing and movement exercises with therapist-led group discussion focused on desire, possession, and satisfaction as drivers of anxiety. Outcomes include standard anxiety scales and quality-of-life measures collected at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention. Participants are screened for clinically significant anxiety and specific preverbal dysregulation profiles and must not be in concurrent psychotherapy or recently on psychotropic medication.
