Why we study #SelfCompassion:

The pros and cons individuals with anorexia nervosa perceive to be associated with developing #SelfCompassion are explored in Allison Kelly, Aleece Katan et al.'s paper published in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology, BPS Journals. Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/bjc.12…

Presented at the #cftconference23, Aleece Katan and Allison Kelly found that individuals receiving eating disorder treatment reported greater feelings of social connectedness and belonging (i.e., social safeness) following periods of increased #SelfCompassion.

Fatphobia and weight stigma are far more dangerous than a body size could ever be.

At #SPSP2024, Michelle Korlacka presented findings that higher trait #SelfCompassion is related to less variability in negative affect. This suggests that self-compassion may protect against emotional dysregulation & imbalance. Aleece Katan Monica Grove Allison Kelly Jenna Gilchrist

At #UWTL2024 Allison Kelly shared preliminary findings that for-credit experiential #Mindfulness courses may promote student wellness & success. At the end of the semester, students enrolled reported less maladaptive & more adaptive functioning than students not enrolled.
