Abstract

Social media platforms have become increasingly visual. This has been associated with body image issues, especially for young adults who are frequent users of such platforms. Increasing ones self-compassion can mitigate these potential negative effects. In this paper we present a training for self-compassion that young adults can follow online. The training is self-guided and individual, and users can use it at any preferred moment. Moreover, we use gamification in the training to motivate users and to deliver theory in an engaging way. In this paper we describe the theoretical background and the choices that have been made in the design of the training.
