About this evidence tier

This is a provisional editorial rating for the general practice, not proof that it treats a condition. Research citations will be attached after source-level review. Use the safety notes and judge the practice by your own tracked response.

Self-compassion has three moves: name the suffering, remember it is shared, and offer yourself kindness. It quiets the threat response that self-criticism fuels.
