Self-Compassion Questionnaire
At Balanced Minds we’re interested in compassion, and in particular, self-compassion. There’s lots of research now showing that people who have higher levels of self-compassion have lower levels of shame, self-criticism, depression and anxiety, and higher levels of wellbeing and happiness.
But do you have a sense of how self-compassionate your are? If you’d like to learn more about this, 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 Compassion Engagement and Action Scale (Gilbert et al. 2017, “The development of compassionate engagement and action scales for self and others.” Journal of Compassionate Health Care 4.1, 1-24).
