Interventions

BEHAVIORALCBT-001 Multi-dose

CBT-1 is a 4-week structured online group cognitive behavioral therapy program tailored for college students with subclinical anxiety. The protocol systematically guides participants to deconstruct anxiety into an interconnected loop of situations, automatic thoughts, and behaviors.

BEHAVIORALNatural Psychotherapy

NPT's principle is fundamentally about fostering a proactive mindset. The participants are encouraged to actively seek out and engage with life's inherent challenges and discomforts as a path to growth. The emphasis is on cultivating courage and initiative as a characterological trait, transforming the individual's relationship with fear itself, rather than solely habituating to specific triggers. This represents a shift from a disorder-specific protocol to a life-oriented philosophy.
