The investigators are planning to recruit approximately 30 study participants aged 50 years
and older that will undergo a 4 week attention and emotion regulation intervention. The
intervention systematically targets thoughts, emotions and behavior in order to promote
quality of life and advance successful brain aging. The investigators will assess the
feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants for an attention and emotion regulation
intervention. In addition, the investigators will determine the efficacy of the intervention
to enhance and promote quality of life, sustained attention, emotions, motivation and
cognitive health.

The CASA model is developed here in the investigators program (Geda et al) based on
neuroscience and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The rationale for the study is that
the cortico-cortical network linking the prefrontal cortex with the mesial temporal lobe is
susceptible to the wear and tear of day to day life such as stress and emotional distress.
The investigators hypothesize that the CASA intervention will promote emotional and cognitive
health by targeting this network.
