In\u2010depth exploration of individuals\u2019 pros and cons of behaviour change is generally helpful at resolving ambivalence; however, no research has examined the pros and cons individuals with eating disorders perceive to be associated with developing self\u2010compassion, limiting our understanding of their personal experiences when confronted with self\u2010compassion. Given the research suggesting higher resistance to self\u2010compassion development in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN), the present study used qualitative methods to gain a deeper understanding of their perceived pros and cons to self\u2010compassion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty\u2010seven women with typical (64%) and atypical (36%) AN signed up for a study on self\u2010help strategies for daily distress. Upon learning that the intervention would entail cultivating self\u2010compassion, they identified their perceived pros and cons of developing self\u2010compassion by typing them out.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thematic analysis was used to extract themes. Three superordinate cons and four superordinate pros of self\u2010compassion emerged. Perceived cons were as follows: self\u2010compassion leading to personal shortcomings; apprehension and doubt about the efficacy of self\u2010compassion; and emotional challenges associated with developing self\u2010compassion. Perceived pros were as follows: improved health; personal development (e.g., growth, coping); improved outlook; and enhanced social relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings reveal the various advantages and disadvantages that women with AN perceive to be associated with developing self\u2010compassion.
