Abstract
Self-compassion, conceptualized by psychologist Kirstin Neff in 2003, is a
possible mediator to the depression epidemic in university settings. I am among
undergraduate students at Middle Tennessee State University who have had experiences
with depression. In this thesis, I reflect on moments of self-compassion which led to me
finding peace with my depression.
