Learning body awareness skills to improve well-being in pulmonary hypertension

This trial is testing a new approach called interoceptive training—learning to better recognize and understand what your body is telling you—for people living with pulmonary hypertension. The study will explore whether this eight-week online program can help reduce anxiety and depression, and improve overall quality of life. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and acceptable before moving forward with a larger trial.

Pulmonary hypertension causes exhaustion and breathing difficulties that can take a serious toll on emotional health, but there are currently no proven psychological treatments to address this. Early research suggests that helping people tune in to their body's signals may boost well-being, so this trial aims to test that idea.
