Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
In this study, BCBT skills will be introduced in various randomly determined sequence. During the first stage, around half of participants will complete reasons for living in session 2, physiological regulation in session 3, and sleep in session 4. The other half of participants will complete these components in the reverse order: sleep in session 2, physiological regulation in session 3, and reasons for living in session 4. Treatment non-responders will continue attending BCBT sessions during Stage 2 following their 4 completed sessions in Stage 1, up to a maximum of 6 additional sessions (i.e., 10 therapy sessions total across both stages). The specific sequence of the BCBT skills used in Stage 2 will be randomly assigned.
