Self-compassion reduces concerns about binge eating and body image and is associated with lower levels of shame and less severe pathology than eating disorders (Kelly, Carter, & Zuroff, & Borairi , 2013). By alleviating self-critical responses, self-compassion protects against negative reactions to diet disruption, reducing the need to address the problem by eating (Adams & Leary, 2007). It also promotes a more positive body image and reduces the guilt associated with consuming “forbidden foods” (Adams & Leary, 2007). Self-compassion helps people engage in adaptive emotional regulation skills and accept unwanted parts of themselves, effectively freeing themselves from two of the common triggers of binge eating (Webb & Forman, 2013). For restrictive eaters, inducing self-compassion reduced the amount of food they ate after a food preload, leading them to eat like nonrestrictive eaters (Adams & Leary, 2007). In addition to preventing disordered eating behaviors, self-compassion promotes intuitive eating, defined by Schoenfeld & Webb (2013) as acting in accordance with one's values ​​when consuming food. It also reduces feelings of defensiveness and guilt that block self-regulation (Terry & Leary, 2011) and reduces anxiety and depression that can cause or exacerbate disordered eating. By changing the inverse relationship between self-compassion and shame from high shame/low self-compassion to high self-compassion/low shame, providers can help patients dissolve
