Sexual and gender minority young people (SGMY) experience mental health disparities and are overlooked in mental health practice and research. Self-compassion is a protective factor that promotes youth psychological well-being. This study examines SGMY perceptions of self-compassion and their experiences participating in self-compassion practices. SGMY (n = 30) ages 16–29 participated in empirically supported self-compassion practices. Using grounded theory, researchers uncovered three themes. SGMY indicated that (1) the practice of self-compassion may help SGMY cope with internal/external homo/bi/transphobia, (2) cultivating self-compassion can enhance well-being, and (3) self-compassion can support coping with difficult thoughts and emotions. Self-compassion may be a helpful approach for SGMY. Implications for SGMY mental health are explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
