Interventions

EMPOWER BEHAVIORAL
The EMPOWER intervention consists of six 30-60 minute couple sessions (3x per week over two weeks), conducted at home via guided audio. Each session combines a structured mindfulness exercise (progressing difficulty) with a mutual partner support conversation (structured speaker-listener format, progressing difficulty).
Control BEHAVIORAL
The active control condition consists of six sessions of similar length, comprising psychoeducation about endometriosis and chronic pain, unguided relaxation to music, and less structured couple conversations without the partner support component.
