The effect of self-compassion versus mindfulness interventions on autonomic responses to stress in generalized anxiety disorders
X. Qi, Y. Shen, et al.
Patients with generalized anxiety disorder completed a stress task before and after 2-week treatment as usual (TAU) combined with either a self-compassion or mindfulness intervention. The study found that self-compassion uniquely reduced heart-rate response to stress, while both interventions lowered state anxiety and negative affect and increased positive affect. This research was conducted by Xuejun Qi, Yonghui Shen, Xianwei Che, Ying Wang, Xi Luo, and Lijun Sun.
