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.

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

This is a very small pilot study (12-20 people) with no control group, so results may not be reliable. The trial is currently suspended, and group therapy may not work as well as individual sessions.
