An interventional study of Self-compassion comprising compassionate body scan-1, compassion body scan-2 and short noticing practice and Self-compassion comprising self-compassion break, loving kindness meditation, and breathing exercise. in Body Image Disturbance, Body Image and Shame, sponsored by University of Sheffield. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-10-05.

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.

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months
Body Image States Scale
It will be used to assess transient feelings about the body and physical appearance. A 6-item scale measures current body-image experiences at a particular point in time or in a specific context. Possible scores range from 6 to 54, and higher scores indicate more positive body image (better outcome).
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months
Shame subscale of the State Shame and Guilt Scale
It will be used to test state shame. Possible scores are ranged from 5 to 25. Higher scores indicate worse state shame.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months
