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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Digital therapy lessons and coaching (Be Specific and Be Kind behavioral interventions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could reveal which parts of cognitive-behavioral therapy are most effective for reducing repetitive negative thinking, helping to improve future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on understanding mechanisms, not testing a new treatment. Results may not lead to immediate clinical changes, and the digital format may not work for everyone.
