%X This survey aimed to investigate the value of self-compassion for psychologists while also examining differences in Empathy and quality of life before and after the intervention. A total number of 29 psychotherapists active in practice participated in the current studies. The experiment involved two groups: the experimental (<em>N</em> = 9, <em>M</em> = 29.89) and the control group (<em>N</em> = 20, <em>M</em> = 31.05). Results indicated a statistically significant increase in self-compassion for the experimental condition. Life satisfaction was also significantly increased in the experimental group. The difference between the intervention and control groups in the follow-measurement of self-compassion remained statistically significant.
