Summary

This study tested whether adding habit-formation tools helps adults practice self-compassionate touch more regularly. Nearly 500 participants were split into two groups: one received the practice alone, the other got extra habit-building strategies. Researchers tracked how often they practiced and how automatic it became over 6 months.
