药物成份或治疗方案详述:

The intervention is structured around mindfulness and self-compassion. Based on existing MBIs protocol, including mindful self-compassion and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for life. Each session will involve theory, practice, inquiry, reflection and discussion. Three short VR mindfulness practices (mindful breathing, awareness, working with difficult emotions) will be introduced to participants before or after specific sessions at the VR cave of the University of Shue Yan. The control group will have the same contents except for the VR components.
