| Self-critical rumination: Self-critical rumination is conceptualized as a process of judgment that specifically focuses on aspects of an individual that are shameful and that somehow indicate a lack of self-esteem. Also, this process is characterized by repetitive negative thinking. In this study, self-critical rumination refers to the score that an individual obtains on the Self-Critical Rumination Test by Smart et al. (2016). Timepoint: The present study is a quasi-experimental study based on a pre-test-post-test design and a two-month follow-up with a control group. In this design, the subjects will be measured before implementing the independent variable (pre-test), then the experimental intervention or independent variables will be applied. After that, the subjects will be measured again. Finally, after one month of the post-test, all three groups were measured again to examine the continuity of the effects of the interventions on the experimental groups. One of the experimental groups will receive the emotion-focused therapy approach based on the protocol of Susan Johnson et al. (2019) in the form of 9 60-minute sessions. The other group will also receive the paradox therapy experiment in 4 to 7 sessions according to the protocol of Besharat et al. (2019). Method of measurement: The measurement tool will include the Self-Critical Rumination Scale (SCRS) by Smart et al. (2016).;Emotional expressiveness: King et al. (1990) define emotional expressiveness as the external display of emotion, regardless of its value (positive or negative), through verbal means or facial and body expressions. In this study, emotional instrumentality refers to the score obtained from the King and Emmons (1990) Emotional Instrumentality Questionnaire. Timepoint: The present study is a quasi-experimental study based on a pre-test-post-test design and a two-month follow-up with a control group. In this design, the subjects will be measured before implementing the independent variable (p | — |
