Four therapy sessions with a psychologist utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques
At the four therapy sessions, subjects will work with the psychologist to identify the triggers of their VCD episodes, learn to self-monitor symptoms and reactions, and be taught breathing retraining/relaxation techniques. The goal is to decrease patterns of subjects' thinking or behaviors that exacerbate distress from VCD symptoms.
