What this trial is about
Brief Summary of the Study The aim of this clinical trial is to find out if the group therapy method "Self-Reconstruction" helps to reduce anxiety in adults. The researchers want to see if the participants' emotional state becomes more stable after completing the course. The main questions that this study aims to answer are: Do people's anxiety levels decrease after taking the course of "I-Reconstruction" classes? Do the positive effects of the classes persist 3, 6 and 12 months after they finish? Do the participants' quality of life and ability to enjoy life improve? The researchers will compare a group of people who attend the therapy classes with a group of people who receive usual care to see if the new method is more effective. Participants will: Participate in 10 online group meetings once a week. Do simple breathing and movement exercises to calm the body and emotions. Discuss your feelings and desires with a professional in a safe group. Complete questionnaires about your condition at the beginning, during, and after the study.
