Cognitive Behavioral Immersion: a Randomized Control Trial of Peer-Based Coaching in the Metaverse

CBI sessions follow a detailed manual to teach a group of peers cognitive and behavioral strategies that they may utilize in their daily lives, often based around the cognitive-behavioral model as a teaching tool. CBI aims to develop cognitive-behaviorally-based skills and habits in participants, such as behavioral activation, mood tracking, the identification and reframing of automatic thoughts, and assertion training.
