NCT ID NCT05866718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
