Brief Summary:
This study is an open trial designed to examine individual changes that occur before, during, and after 6 modules of Emotion Regulation Therapy (ERT) delivered via telehealth for individuals in New York State who are experiencing elevated worry, rumination, or self-criticism.
Detailed Description:
The main questions this study aims to answer are to:
1. Examine temporal patterns of ERT-specific treatment mechanisms (attention regulation, metacognitive regulation, motivation regulation, and valued living), relationships between these mechanisms and negative self-referential processing (NSRP; i.e., rumination, worry, and self-criticism) severity over time, and changes in these mechanisms in response to specific intervention strategies/modules.
2. Investigate the effect of concordance and/or discordance between therapists and clients regarding skill acquisition, treatment goals, and case conceptualizations on treatment mechanisms as well as measures of treatment outcome and satisfaction.
3. Demonstrate the preliminary efficacy of a 6-module, time-variable version of ERT in reducing symptoms of psychological distress (e.g., anxiety, depression, worry, rumination, self-criticism), changing ERT-specific treatment mechanisms (e.g., attention regulation), and improving quality of life and overall functioning.
Participants will:
1. Fill out an online pre-screening questionnaire and complete a structured clinical interview via Zoom Healthcare
2. Be enrolled as a patient at the Dean Hope Center for Educational and Psychological Services (DHCEPS), located at Teachers College
3. Attend between 12-22 once-weekly telehealth ERT sessions
4. Complete between 18-28 weekly questionnaires online via Qualtrics (two before starting treatment, 12-22 during each week of treatment, and 4 after ending treatment).
