Timeline
Interventions
The course will be two weeks long, including the didactic portion of each course and the follow-up exercises (meditations for the CMT condition and exercises for the CBT condition) practiced daily for a total of two weeks. The course will contain two distinct parts. Part (a) will consist of a 45-minute didactic lesson that covers the basics of each approach. The course will provide a narrative rationale and the motivation for participants to complete the exercise portion of the course. Part (b) will be presented following completion of the didactic portion of the course. Participants will receive an automatically generated email following completion of the didactic that will include information on the follow-up exercises, suggestions for how to continue practicing, and a link to the the didactic portion of the course in case they want to review it again. Two weeks after enrollment and the completion of Part (b), participants will be invited to complete the post baseline measures.
