Mean self-reported scores for all six subscales of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale; a: non-acceptance of emotional responses (DERS-Non-Acceptance), b: difficulties engaging in goal-directed behaviour during negative emotional experiences (DERS-Goals), c: impulse control difficulties in response to negative emotions (DERS-Impulse), d: lack of emotional awareness (DERS-Awareness), e: limited access to effective strategies (DERS-Strategies), and f: lack of emotional clarity (DERS-Clarity) at baseline and end-of-treatment for Veterans who received either Sudarshan kriya yoga (SKY) or cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD (per protocol). For all DERS subscales, lower values reflect better emotion regulation. For main effects of time: *** p < .001, ** p < .01, * p < .05, ^ p = .05–.10
