Power up! A Pilot Study of a Positive Psychology Intervention for Mental Health Professionals in Greece

This survey aimed to investigate the value of self-compassion for psychologists while also examining differences in Empathy and quality of life before and after the intervention. A total number of 29 psychotherapists active in practice participated in the current studies. The experiment involved two groups: the experimental (N = 9, M = 29.89) and the control group (N = 20, M = 31.05). Results indicated a statistically significant increase in self-compassion for the experimental condition. Life satisfaction was also significantly increased in the experimental group. The difference between the intervention and control groups in the follow-measurement of self-compassion remained statistically significant.
