This study aimed to examine the efficacy of self-compassion writing on non-suicidal self-injury thoughts and behaviors, self-compassion, depression, self-criticism, and self-punishment cognitions among adults who have experienced non-suicidal self-injuries. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to a self-compassion and a daily writing group. Participants in each group wrote a total of six articles online for two weeks, according to each condition. A total of 57 participants (28 and 29 in the self-compassion and the daily writing groups, respectively) were included in the analysis, and non-suicidal self-injurious thoughts and behaviors, self-compassion, depression, self-criticism and self-punishment cognitions were measured before and after. Results showed that compared to the daily writing group, in the self-compassion writing group, the intensity of self-harm ideas, depression, self-criticism, and self-punishment cognitive significantly decreased, while self-compassion significantly increased. These findings support the effectiveness of online self-compassion writing interventions in reducing self-critical attitudes and negative emotions in self-harming individuals. Further, they presents the possibility of more accessible and self-help treatment that can reduce non-suicidal self-injuries.
