Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses an 8-week Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) program based on the Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) model, aimed at helping the general public improve mental wellbeing by cultivating self-compassion and reducing distress.
  • Participants showed significant improvements in areas like increased compassion, self-reassurance, positive emotions, and wellbeing, along with decreased self-criticism, attachment anxiety, and distress, with benefits maintained at 3-month follow-up.
  • The findings suggest that group-based CMT is potentially effective and beneficial for community members, but further research is needed to confirm its long-term impact and broader applicability.]
