Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Nine 1.5 hour group sessions focusing on developing: 1. An understanding of stress physiology and the physiology of the relaxation response; 2. A regular practice of eliciting the relaxation response; and 3. Cognitive behavioral and positive psychology/resilience skills. Participants receive a copy of the SMART-3RP session manual and audio recorded guided meditations for independent relaxation practice. Participants are encouraged to practice eliciting the relaxation response daily throughout the study, using the audio recordings or other mind body techniques. Participants will use a practice log to track their practice.
