"[TEST] A clinical intervention redirecting obsessive self-monitoring and anticipatory anxiety toward purposeful action and value engagement."

Core Principles & Mechanisms

  • Cognitive de-centering
  • Identification of authentic values
  • Disengagement from vicious cycles of anticipatory anxiety
  • Meaningful outer action.
