Researchers at the University of Potsdam in Germany have conducted a study on anxiety disorders, specifically focusing on the role of shame in social anxiety disorder. The study used an online-adopted Autobiographical Emotional Memory Task (AEMT) to induce shame and tested different interventions, such as self-compassion and cognitive reappraisal, to reduce shame intensity. The results showed that self-compassion interventions were particularly effective in reducing intense shame experiences. The findings suggest that self-compassion interventions could be beneficial in treating social anxiety and call for further research in this area. [Extracted from the article] |
