This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research pilot is testing a new approach that uses artificial intelligence to create personalized therapy scripts based on your own childhood memories. Some participants will listen to these scripts with a therapeutic twist—imagining a therapist figure helping your younger self—while others will listen to the scripts without this addition. The study measures how your body and emotions respond, and whether this AI-assisted approach helps reduce anxiety and intrusive thoughts one week later.
Many people struggle with anxiety rooted in painful memories of criticism during childhood, and traditional therapy isn't always accessible or affordable. This study explores whether artificial intelligence can help create personalized, therapeutic interventions that are both effective and practical to deliver.

You will visit the lab once, where you'll describe two memories of parental criticism and two neutral childhood memories. The researchers will use these descriptions to create personalized audio scripts with artificial intelligence, which trained therapists will review. You'll then listen to these scripts while the study measures your skin conductance (a indicator of emotional arousal) and your emotional responses. Depending on which group you're assigned to, one of the critical memory scripts may include a therapeutic intervention where an imagined therapist helps your younger self. One week later, you'll complete follow-up questionnaires about your anxiety and any lingering intrusive thoughts.
