What this trial studies

This clinical study examines a new intervention designed to enhance Regulatory Selection Flexibility in adults with PTSD symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a Flexibility Training group or an Active Control Training group, both receiving a bi-weekly online intervention over seven sessions. The intervention includes psychoeducation on regulatory strategies, a computerized task to practice strategy selection, and homework assignments to apply learned strategies in daily life. The study aims to determine if improved flexibility in selecting emotional regulation strategies correlates with a reduction in PTSD symptoms.
