Buddhist-Derived Loving-Kindness and Compassion Meditation for the Treatment of Psychopathology: a Systematic Review (2015, result): “Consistent with this Buddhist approach, studies involving trauma patients have shown that higher levels of self-compassion and mindfulness lead to reductions in post-traumatic avoidance strategies (e.g., Follette et al. 2006; Thompson and Waltz 2008).”
Mindfulness, Work Climate, and Psychological Need Satisfaction in Employee Well-being (2015, background): “On a related front, there is evidence that mindfulness enhances one’s capacity to tolerate uncomfortable emotions by maintaining a healthy distance from distressing feelings (Coffey and Hartman 2008; Follette et al. 2006).”
Mindfulness: Theoretical Foundations and Evidence for its Salutary Effects (2007, background): “Evidence suggests that incorporating mindfulness skills into the treatment of trauma is beneficial ( Becker & Zayfert, 2001 ) but this area of inquiry is still very new (see Follette, Palm, & Pearson, 2006 for review).”
