This is a preregistration, so no findings are reported. It specifies hypotheses and an analysis plan for a trial comparing CCB with PMR, with self-compassion as the primary outcome.
Abstract
This preregistration specifies hypotheses and an analysis plan for a randomized controlled trial comparing Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB) with Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) in adults with a history of childhood adversity. The primary outcome is change in self-compassion from pre- to post-intervention. Secondary analyses examine whether altered states of consciousness during CCB predict self-compassion change and whether self-compassion change relates to changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms.
