Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Attention Modification Training ABMT is a newly emerging intervention that trains patients to override their tendency to focus on threatening aspects of an event and to interpret events as more neutral and therefore less stressful	Behavioral: Attention Modification Training Subjects are taught to disengage attention from a certain stimuli
Placebo Comparator: No Attention Modification Training There is no disengagement of attention from a target stimulus. Attention is divided equally between two stimuli on the screen.	Behavioral: No Attention Modification Training Subjects are exposed to two stimuli, but attention is not manipulated in any way
