And by cultivating compassion toward yourself, you will begin to heal and move past your painful experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecent studies show that trauma survivors, particularly those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from abuse, can greatly benefit from incorporating elements of self-compassion into their treatment. Furthermore, the practice of self-compassion has been shown to decrease PTSD symptoms, including self-criticism, thought suppression, and rumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is based on the author's powerful and effective Compassion Cure program.
