Changes in Functional Connectivity Following Treatment With Emotion Regulation Therapy.

Increasing connectivity of other brain regions such as the medial PFC (Etkin et al., 2011 ) with the posterior insula may reflect the appraisal of emotional responses via more metacognitive processes that create an empathic distance from the emotion itself (similar to the empathy experienced for the distress of others; Lamm et al., 2011 ), and indeed this increased connectivity showed a trend for increasing decentering in the present results.
