The impact of compassionate mind training on qualified health professionals undertaking a compassion‐focused therapy module
Overview
This mixed-methods study examines the effects of Compassionate Mind Training on 15 students in helping professions, measuring changes in self-compassion and self-criticism through questionnaires, diaries, and focus groups. The authors report statistically significant increases in self-compassion and reassurance, alongside reductions in specific self-critical subscales, while noting no significant change in feelings of being hated or persecuted. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in how such training influences practitioner well-being and professional development.
