Extent of job satisfaction (according to the "Short questionnaire to assess general and facet-specific job satisfaction", KAFA, Haarhaus, 2015), depressive symptoms (according to the "Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale - Revised", CESD-R, Schmitt, 2015), symptom and problem burden (according to the "Änderungssensitive Symptomliste zu Entspannungserleben, Wohlbefinden, Beschwerden- und Problembelastungen", ASS-SYM, Krampen, 2006), mentalizing ability (according to the "Mentalizing Emotions Questionnaire", MEQ, Kasper et al. 2024 and the "Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire", EBQ, Biel et al. 2023) as well as items developed for the study itself. Participants in the intervention group will complete an online questionnaire with the above instruments before the start of the self-reflection group, during the group (at 4 and 8 months), at the end of the group, and after the end of the group (12-month catamnesis). Participants in the waiting group complete the same online questionnaire at the same time as the intervention group, then receive no treatment for four months, and complete the online questionnaire again before the start of the self-reflection group, during the group (at 4 months), at the end of the group, and 12 months after the end of the group. In addition, the online questionnaire includes further process and outcome measures during the group and at the end of the group ("Session Evaluation Questionnaire", SEQ-D, Hartmann et al., 2013 and "Comparative Psychotherapy Process Scale", CPPS, Hilsenroth et al., 2005).	—
