Participants engage in a structured 13-minute partner-based contemplative exercise. Each dyad reflects on two experiences from the previous 24 hours: one involving a difficult emotion and one involving gratitude. Partners take turns speaking while the other listens non-judgmentally. During weeks 1-4, the practice emphasizes empathic listening; during weeks 5-8, compassionate listening. Participants are instructed to attend to bodily sensations associated with the emotions described. The practice aims to improve coping with difficult emotions, empathic and compassionate listening, (self)acceptance, compassion, gratitude, resilience.\n2. Participants also attend eight 1.5-hour online group sessions led by Expert Dyad teachers.

By combining healthcare professionals' self-reported practice-related emotions with partner-based evaluations, this approach aims to generate new and innovate, more objective markers of training-induced changes in emotional processing and regulation over time in a real-live applied setting.\n\nThe final aim is to investigate the cognitive and affective mechanisms and factors underlying observed changes in healthcare professionals' mental health, resilience, social cohesion, social skills and social behaviors, that may explain observed training-related effects in primary outcome domains. Based on previous research, we expect the socio-emotional EmCo Dyad training to activate evolutionary old care- and affiliation-based motivational systems that foster positive affect and motivation, acceptance, trust social capacities and behavioral tendencies. These processes should go along with reduction in loneliness, stress and other mental vulnerabilities (anxiety, depression, burn-out etc.) and foster social skills such as empathy, compassion as well as social cohesion and resilience.",[73,74],"Intervention Condition","Control Condition",[76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88],"Mental Training","Dyad training","Compassionate Listening","Empathic Listening","Empathy","Compassion","Mental-Health","Online & App-based Training","Resilience","Social Cohesion","Social Skills","AI-based Voice Assessment","Healthcare professionals","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-04",{"date":92,"type":93},"2026-06-09","ACTUAL",{"date":95,"type":67},"2026-08-31",{"date":97,"type":67},"2027-04-03",{"name":5,"class":6}]
