Abstract

Before
he Emotion Focused Training for Self-Compassion and Self-Protection (EFT-SCP) is an intervention developed to increase skills of self-compassion and protective anger with the aim to decrease self-criticism. This novel intervention was developed on the basis of the latest findings on self-criticism from Emotion-focused therapy and previous programs cultivating compassion (namely Compassion Mind Training and Mindful Self-Compassion Program). According to existing research, simply cultivating self-compassion is not always sufficient in reducing self-criticism
According to recent research, high levels of self-criticism and low levels of self-compassion are associated with psychopathology while high levels of self-compassion and low levels of self-criticism are important factors of a happy life and well-being. Specifically, research has shown a relationship between high self-criticism and social anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, behaviors that involve inflicting self-harm, suicidal tendencies, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders and borderline personality disorder . Therefore self-compassion and self-criticism are clinically significant and research on interventions influencing their levels is of great importance for clinical practice.In Emotion-focused therapy, therapists coach clients towards primary adaptive emotions that “are attended to and expressed in therapy in order to access the adaptive information and action tendency to guide problem solving”
The primary aim of the present study isto evaluate the immediate and longer term impact of a 14-day internet-based version of the Emotion Focused Training for Self-Compassion and Self-protection (EFT-SCP) on self-compassion, self-criticism and their dimensions in a non-clinical population.
