TREAT Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Waitlist ControlExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
After Time 1 testing in Week 1, participants randomized to WLC will not receive any treatment during Weeks 2-5. The only staff interaction during this no treatment time period will be to schedule Time 2 testing appointment for week 6. After Time 2 testing, WLC will receive TREAT (weeks 14-17), followed up with testing.
Group II: TREATExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A 4-week one-to-one intervention between the clinical RA (cRA) and participant. Comprised of eight sessions, it involves psycho-educational lessons and skill-building exercises to achieve objectives based on the characteristics of alexithymia.
