This study is exploring if a 6-week group psychotherapy (talk therapy) intervention can change the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria and other microorganisms in your intestines) in women aged 19 to 54 who experience chronic stress. Researchers want to see if chronic stress is linked to the gut microbiome and if therapy can make a difference. You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or already in regular psychotherapy to join. Success would mean seeing improvements in your depression, anxiety, and stress levels, as well as how stressed you feel, after 6 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 30 participants.
