What this study is about

This trial is testing whether social support reminders help people with anxiety disorders overcome their fears. Participants will be shown images of a social support figure or a smiling stranger while they are exposed to things that make them afraid, like electric shock. The goal is to see if the social support figure helps them feel less scared.
