This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding a group-based stabilization and skill training program to your regular individual therapy can help you better manage long-lasting trauma symptoms. Many people with past traumatic experiences continue therapy for years without major improvement, even though their symptoms—like anxiety, avoidance, emotional difficulties, and relationship problems—remain severe. This study wants to see if this new group program, combined with your ongoing one-on-one care, can make a real difference.
Many patients in mental health care who have experienced trauma continue in long-term individual therapy without getting significantly better. The researchers want to develop more effective treatment options by testing whether adding a structured group program focusing on stabilization and coping skills can help more people recover and improve their quality of life.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either continue your regular individual therapy alone, or to add a group-based stabilization and skill training program on top of your usual care. The study will track changes in your symptoms, how well you're functioning, your overall well-being, and your use of hospital services over time. Researchers will also collect blood samples before and after the program to look for markers of stress-related inflammation.
