Self-compassion refers to being supportive toward oneself when experiencing suffering or pain—be it caused by personal mistakes and inadequacies or external life challenges. This review presents my theoretical model of self-compassion as comprised of six different elements: increased self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness as well as reduced self-judgment, isolation, and overidentification. It discusses the methodology of self-compassion research and reviews the increasingly large number of empirical studies that indicate self-compassion is a productive way of approaching distressing thoughts and emotions that engenders mental and physical well-being. It also reviews research that dispels common myths about self-compassion (e.g., that it is weak, selfish, self-indulgent or undermines motivation). Interventions designed to increase self-compassion, such as compassion-focused therapy and mindful self-compassion, are discussed. Finally, the review considers problematic issues in the field, such as the differential effects fallacy, and considers limitations and future research directions in the field of self-compassion research.

自我同情：理论、方法、研究和干预


自我同情是指在经历痛苦或痛苦时支持自己——无论是由个人错误和不足还是外部生活挑战引起的。这篇评论介绍了我的自我同情理论模型，它由六个不同的元素组成：增加自我善良、共同的人性和正念，以及减少自我评判、孤立和过度认同。它讨论了自我同情研究的方法，并回顾了越来越多的实证研究表明，自我同情是处理痛苦思想和情绪的一种有效方式，可以产生身心健康。它还回顾了消除关于自我同情的常见神话（例如，它软弱、自私、自我放纵或破坏动机）的研究。讨论了旨在增加自我同情的干预措施，例如以同情为中心的疗法和正念自我同情。最后，本综述考虑了该领域存在的问题，例如差分效应谬误，并考虑了自我同情研究领域的局限性和未来的研究方向。
