Summary

The current study is a two condition randomized controlled trial for women who are pregnant, interested in becoming pregnant, or pregnant within the last year. The conditions include a brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a brief Compassionate Mind Training intervention. Participants in each condition will complete a 45 minute didactic exercises and readings followed by an email with exercises to continue practicing for a total of 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, participants will receive post-baseline assessment measures (e.g., depression, anxiety, affect, self-reassurance, self-attacking, self-criticizing, self-compassion). Participants will be recruited through a women's clinic in the United Kingdom by Michelle Cree, M.S. and through listservs by Yotam Heineberg, Psy.D. The researchers will also invite individuals in their social networks through email and through the Amazon Mechanical Turk System.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The course will be two weeks long, including the didactic portion of each course and the follow-up exercises (meditations for the CMT condition and exercises for the CBT condition) practiced daily for a total of two weeks. The course will contain two distinct parts. Part (a) will consist of a 45-minute didactic lesson that covers the basics of each approach. The course will provide a narrative rationale and the motivation for participants to complete the exercise portion of the course. Part (b) will be presented following completion of the didactic portion of the course. Participants will receive an automatically generated email following completion of the didactic that will include information on the follow-up exercises, suggestions for how to continue practicing, and a link to the the didactic portion of the course in case they want to review it again. Two weeks after enrollment and the completion of Part (b), participants will be invited to complete the post baseline measures.
