Fear of Self-Compassion Scale

Fear of Self-Compassion Scale

At Balanced Minds we are re interested in compassion, and in particular, self-compassion, and how this can be helpful for ourselves and others. 

But for many people, there can be common blocks or fears to being self-compassionate. Recent research has found that the more fearful you are of self-compassion, then it’s likely you might struggle more with (amongst other things) higher levels of shame, self-criticism, stress and low mood. 

Do you know whether you find self-compassion difficult? If you’d like to check at the level of your fears of self-compassion, take our short test to find out!

Note: None of your data or responses to the questionnaire will be identifiable, stored, used or processed by us in any way

This questionnaire is based upon the Fear Compassion Scale, Gilbert, P., McEwan, K., Matos, M., & Rivis, A. (2011). Fears of compassion: Development of three self‐report measures. Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, research and practice
