Summary
This pilot study is testing whether a group-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) program can help people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) become more comfortable with uncertainty.

If it works, this could provide a practical group therapy option for people with generalized anxiety disorder, making treatment more accessible.
