The investigators' recent feasibility trial of a self-compassion and active control intervention showed that the self-compassion intervention was promising in reducing state body shame during a 40-minute intervention session. There were three time points where the reduction in the body shame level was significant, indicating three active components in the intervention that led to significant reduction in state body shame. It is unclear if a shorter self-compassion intervention based on only the active components would be as effective as the longer intervention at reducing state body shame. Such a short intervention then could be used as an in-session change method (15-20 mins) as part of a larger package, or as a homework exercise.
