Self-Compassion Components and Emotional Regulation Strategies as Predictors of Psychological Distress and Well-Being.

ABSTRACT: Self-compassion is a positive self-related construct important in reducing symptoms of psychological distress and enhancing well-being. Self-compassion can be divided into compassionate self-responding (CSR), the ability to respond with self-kindness, a sense of common humanity, and mindfulness to one's failures and negative experiences, and reduced uncompassionate self-responding (RUSR) the capacity to reduce self-judgment, isolation, and overidentification with emotional reactions.
