“…This study provides preliminary evidence that women who do not have clinical levels of distress can develop their selfcompassion through a self-guided online course. This finding is consistent with previous trials of online self-compassion instruction that did not include control groups (Finlay-Jones et al, 2017;Krieger et al, 2016), as well as more rigorous trials that did include control groups (Eriksson et al, 2018;Kelman et al, 2018;Krieger et al, 2019).…”

The benefits of self‐compassion interventions have been well documented in the counseling literature. Despite these benefits, access to such interventions remains a considerable barrier for a range of populations. We addressed the issue of limited access by using a randomized controlled trial to evaluate an online, self‐guided course on self‐compassion specifically targeted toward women. Fifty‐seven women were randomly assigned to receive immediate or delayed access to a 10‐week course designed to increase self‐compassion and reduce self‐judgment, shame, and perfectionism. Analysis of the data revealed that participants in the treatment condition experienced significant increases in self‐compassion and decreases in self‐judgment, shame, and perfectionism compared with participants in the wait‐list group. Results provide evidence that self‐compassion can be fostered in a nonclinical population of women through participation in a self‐paced online course. Related findings and potential implications, including the use of such interventions to address accessibility concerns, are discussed within the existing literature.

“…In this study, specific measures of well-being and mental health (ie, happiness, overall health status, purpose in life, and positive and negative affects) have been included. Findings from this study will be congruent with the growing research supporting the benefits of using the internet to deliver evidence-based interventions [ 62 - 64 ] and will add valuable data to the incipient research field on the potential of self-applied CBIs via the internet [ 8 , 25 , 26 , 65 ].…”

“…Compassion-focused therapy has been found to be effective in increasing happiness and mindfulness and de-creasing worry and emotional suppression in the general population (Jazaieri et al, 2014), as well as in schizophrenic, anxious, depressed, and disordered eating populations (see Graser &Stangier, 2018 andKirby, 2017). Another type of compassion intervention, mindfulness-based compassionate living was administered online and was found to be effective in reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms in participants with high levels of self-criticism, thus pointing to its potential as a transdiagnostic intervention (Krieger et al, 2019).…”

Loving kindness meditation and compassion meditation are traditional Buddhist practices that have recently been introduced and investigated in psychotherapy with promising results. Both meditation practices emphasize metta, a mental state of positive energy and kindness towards oneself and other beings, as opposed to the anger, hostility, or self-loathing that often accompany emotional problems. We conducted a qualitative review of the literature to produce an integrative review. Metta meditation appears to be particularly useful for treating depression and social anxiety, both characterized by low positive affect and negative attitudes and core beliefs about the self. Metta meditation can aid therapy by promoting more adaptive self-images, social connectedness, and emotional experiences. Loving kindness and compassion meditation (metta) have been recently introduced in psychotherapy. Metta addresses shame, anger, and hostility, and promotes an accepting attitude towards oneself. Metta meditation increases positive affect. Metta meditation can be particularly useful in social anxiety and depression.
