Call for participants! Do you experience chronic pain? We would love to hear from you!

We are seeking adults (18+) living with persistent or recurring chronic pain for at least 3-months to take part in a research study exploring the topics of self-compassion and how people relate to themselves. Self-compassion is a broad term, and we are interested in hearing from a variety of voices on the topic.

What is the research about?

Chronic pain affects people differently, and recent evidence points towards self-compassion as a particular construct of interest in understanding what shapes people’s individual pain experiences. Specifically, this research is interested in exploring what being compassionate and/or being uncompassionate to yourself might mean or look like in different individuals who experience chronic pain.

What does it involve?

A short pre-study demographics questionnaire.
One-time interview lasting roughly 45-90 minutes (online or face-to-face) with a member of our research team.

Can I take part?

You are eligible for this study if:

You are aged 18 or over
You are English speaking
You have experience of persistent (chronic) or recurring pain that has been present for at least three months (you do not need a formal diagnosis, but if you have one we will ask you what this is).
You have not previously engaged in any formal Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) or taken part in ‘self-compassion training’ interventions run by a clinician/healthcare professional.
