Summary

This study will enroll 500 adults with high levels of repetitive negative thinking (like worry or rumination) to understand why cognitive-behavioral therapy helps. Participants will receive one of two digital therapy programs: one focusing on concrete thinking, the other on self-compassion. The goal is to identify which skills are most important for reducing repetitive negative thoughts and improving mental health.
