| The effectiveness of self-compassion therapy on distress tolerance, cognitive avoidance, depression, and emotional resilience. Compassion-focused therapy is a form of evidence-based therapy that specifically targets the development of compassion. This therapy emphasizes strengthening the ability to be aware of suffering as well as the motivation and ability to heal or prevent it. After forming the groups, the subjects were led to special rooms and were given questionnaires to measure the dependent variables (depression, distress tolerance, cognitive avoidance, emotional resilience) as a pre-test and were assured that their answers would remain confidential. They were asked to answer the questions confidently and honestly. People in the experimental group participated in training courses for about 1 month and received compassion-focused therapy intervention in 8 90-minute sessions, two sessions per week. Also, no intervention was given to the control group. However, to prevent threats to the internal validity of the test, the intervention was administered to them after the end of the study. After completing the training period, both experimental and control groups were re-assessed using questionnaires that measured dependent variables (depression, distress tolerance, cognitive avoidance, emotional resilience) as a post-test. Timepoint: The present study was conducted in the form of a semi-experimental field research design with a control group and within the framework of a pre-test and post-test design. In this design, the subjects were measured before implementing the independent variable (pre-test), then the experimental intervention or independent variables were applied. After that, the subjects were measured again. The sessions of this study were designed based on the book Compassion-Focused Therapy, which is based on the Compassion-Focused Therapy Package based on Gilbert's concepts (2010), and were conducted in 8 90-minute sessions.
