Background & Aims: Most sufferers have limited control over their thoughts (unless they have successful treatment). The importance of intervention measures in improving people's conditions is not hidden from anyone, and one of these measures is the use of newer and third-wave treatments such as self-compassion, which includes the expansion of affection, love, and understanding of the individual's pains and sufferings. Self-compassion allows a person to respond to his troubles correctly and warmly instead of wallowing in self-criticism and self-pity. The goal of compassion therapy is to facilitate emotional change to care more and support oneself, which weakens self-attack, increases self-acceptance instead of avoidance, and reduces emotional turmoil. Therefore, the person who sleeps can relieve and control himself more. Self-compassionate people experience less pain and defects than others and have a supportive view of themselves, which reduces depression and anxiety and increases their satisfaction with life. Admitting that all humans are flawed, make mistakes, and engage in unhealthy behaviors is a characteristic of human commonality. While experiencing suffering and facing life's challenges, people may unconsciously evaluate themselves negatively, instead of watching themselves with awareness and looking at their experience from a higher perspective, which causes them to have a holistic view and realism. Self-compassion includes awareness and recognition of the fact that pain and suffering are a natural part of the human condition since the lack of familiarity with how to deal with one's problems can lead to emotional dysfunction and negative effects on the individual and social situation. Be him But until now, there has been no research that has objectively investigated and confirmed the effectiveness of compassion therapy on the symptoms of dysmorphic disorder in girls, so the researchers in this research have tried to answer the question whether the therapy based on Is compassion effective on the symptoms of dyslexia in girls?

Conclusion: In this research, the treatment focused on compassion led to the improvement of delusional disorder, so it is suggested that counselors and psychotherapy centers use the approach of compassion therapy to improve this disorder in people with delusional disorder. In explaining this hypothesis, it can be said that people with body deformity disorder; experience low self-esteem, shame, and guilt because they blame themselves for their ugliness and deterioration of their appearance, and on the other hand, sadness and depression are common in those affected people, and they often isolate themselves from others. These people feel worthless and reach the point where they can no longer bear the pain caused by the deformity and feel extremely hopeless. These affected people spend a lot of time on the problem and controlling the thoughts related to the deformity. Many of these people try to deal with the intrusive thoughts by focusing on other things. But the mental preoccupation of some of these people is so strong that they are unable to pay attention to other matters and turn away from disturbing thoughts. Most sufferers have limited control over their thoughts (unless they have successful treatment). Most of the patients with body deformity disorder are repeatedly preoccupied with thoughts related to the ugliness of their appearance, and along with these thoughts, they feel shame, self-blame, and anger.
