Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Self-compassion Intervention
The intervention will include 14 self-compassion exercises completed over a 3-week period. The intervention will include methods of psychoeducation, meditation, and self-compassion exercises similar to Beshai et al.'s (2020) self-compassion-based intervention. The psychoeducation will focus on self-compassion, the meditations will be kindness and loving meditations and self-compassion breaks. The self-compassion exercises will be based on the writing exercises available on Neff's self-compassion website.

Control Group
The active control will also include 14 exercises completed over a 3-week period. The 14 exercises will comprise of a psychoeducation video, writing exercises, video/audio-guided relaxation, and journal entries. The same psychoeducation video used in the intervention will be shown to participants, however, the other exercises will be altered to focus on factual information and not focused on self-compassion. The exercises will be matched to the self-compassion exercise so that similar exercises are completed in parallel time with the intervention.
Active Control
Participants will complete written exercises and breathing exercises that are not associated with self-compassion
