Assessment

Primary outcomes

Feasibility and safety of Imagery Rescripting Drawing Therapy (IRDT) (whether the operation of the online drawing tool and communication environment can be conducted throughout all sessions, and whether the intervention procedures can be safely conducted according to the protocol), and the change in subjective distress for the most distressing past event (VAS: Visual Analogue Scale, 0-100) from baseline to week 3 (immediately post-intervention) and week 6 (follow-up).

Key secondary outcomes

Changes from baseline to week 3 (post-intervention) and week 6 (follow-up) in the following scales: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, 0-100) for subjective distress associated with the most distressing adverse memory, Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Emotion VAS (fear/panic, anger, shame, guilt, disgust), Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (SCS-SF), Brief Resilience Scale-Japanese version (BRS-J), WHO-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale-Japanese version (RSES-J), Plymouth Sensory Imagery Questionnaire short form (Psi-Q), Trait VAS (vividness of imagery, difficulty in verbalizing imagery), and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire verbalization subscale (FFMQ).
