Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Tonic Immobility Psychoeducation (TIP)

TIP is a 45-minute computerized psychoeducation intervention aimed at addressing maladaptive cognitions and emotions associated with TI while using educational and behavioral techniques commonly used in the treatment of trauma-related disorders. Throughout the psychoeducation program vignettes will be presented to clarify concepts and promote participant engagement. In addition, practice exercises and rating scales will be integrated, where applicable, to increase the interactive nature of the program. The following modules will be addressed in the TI psychoeducation intervention: education, myth busting, and behavioral experiments.

BEHAVIORAL

Health Education Training (HET)

The Healthy Education Training intervention was developed as a 45-minute online intervention that provides education about physical health habits that can impact mental health, such as diet, exercise, and sleep. This intervention has been used in prior clinical trials to control for effects of general education, general coping techniques, and use of technology. Participants in past clinical trials have reported that HET is engaging and beneficial. However, HET is not expected to have an effect on the main symptom outcomes of the current study (guilt, shame, PTSD symptoms).
