Study protocol and design. A, Core processes and practices of the ReSource training. The Presence module aims to train attention and interoceptive body awareness; its two core practices are breathing meditation and body scan. The Affect module targets social emotions such as compassion, loving kindness, and gratitude; core practices are loving-kindness meditation and the Affect dyad. In the Perspective module, metacognition and perspective taking on the self and others are trained through the core practices observing-thoughts meditation and Perspective dyad. B, Design and timeline of the Resource Project. Two training cohorts, TC1 and TC2, started their training with the mindful attention–based Presence module. They then underwent the social Affect and Perspective modules in different orders. The total training time for TC1 and TC2 was 39 weeks (13 weeks per module). TC3 only trained the Affect module for 13 weeks and the two RCC underwent all testing but no training (for more detailed information, see (42,43)). Figure reproduced and adapted from (8,44). RCC = retest control cohort; TC1–3, training cohorts 1–3. Color image is available online only at www.psychosomaticmedicine.org.
