7 online computerized regulatory selection training sessions that includes a fully computerized part, and an interactive, human operated part guided by a clinician and home assignments between intervention session to be completed on days without sessions. Psychoeducation includes information on selection of appropriate strategy according to the regulatory selection flexibility rule (i.e., distraction for high intensity vs reappraisal in low intensity). In the computerized task participants are exposed to emotional words and are asked to select a regulatory strategy in a flexible matter according to the regulatory selection flexibility rule, and receive feedback on whether they chose flexibly or not. Following , they are instructed to implement the chosen strategy. Homework includes choosing two daily events one of high intensity and a second one of low intensity, and describe which strategy they selected and how they implemented their chosen strategy according to the flexibility rule.

All the interventional sections are similar to the experimental group except that in the control group we omit the regulatory selection rule that defines which strategy is compatible with which emotional situation. 7 online computerized regulatory selection training sessions that includes a fully computerized part, and an interactive, human operated part guided by a clinician and home assignments between intervention session to be completed on the days without sessions. Psychoeducation explicitly included information on regulatory strategies (without the regulatory selection flexibility rule). In the computerized task participants are exposed to the same emotional words and are asked to choose freely a regulatory strategy (without the regulatory selection flexibility rule or feedback), and implement it. Homework includes choosing two daily events and selecting and implementing a regulatory strategy (without the regulatory selection flexibility rule).
