Self-compassion and adaptive psychological functioning. (2007, result): “…on the eVectiveness of the approach is still in its early stages, initial results suggest that CMT signiWcantly reduces self-hatred and associated feelings of anxiety and depression, and may have a life-changing impact for those who practice being more self-compassionate (Gilbert & Proctor, 2005).”

Buddhist-Derived Loving-Kindness and Compassion Meditation for the Treatment of Psychopathology: a Systematic Review (2015, background): “However, this review was (i) narrative (i.e., as opposed to systematic), (ii) not intended to focus exclusively on intervention studies and therefore did not include all LKM or CM intervention studies published at the time the review was conducted (examples of omitted studies are Johnson et al. 2009”

Individual Differences in Self-Compassion: The Role of Attachment and Experiences of Parenting in Childhood (2015, background): “…the finding from the present research that priming attachment security enhances self-compassion is consistent with previous suggestions that the quality of early caregiver relationships may be responsible for the development of individual differences in self-compassion (Gilbert & Procter, 2006).”
