The mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between childhood trauma and the symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder by Motahhareh Kargar Shooroki, Azadeh Choobforoushzadeh, Azra Mohammadpanah Ardakan

“…Conversely, childhood trauma exhibited a significant positive direct effect on BDD symptoms (β = 0.321, p < 0.001), indicating that increased trauma predicts more severe BDD symptoms. Furthermore, self-compassion demonstrated a considerable negative direct impact on BDD symptoms (β=−0.765, p < 0.001), implying that low self-compassion is linked to increased BDD symptomatology and vice versa. …”
