The role of surrender through self-compassion among young adults in long-term relationships

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the role of surrender through self-compassion among young adults in long-term relationships and is primarily based on the premise that attempting to meticulously control certain aspects of life such as romantic relationships may hinder rather than help relationships to flourish. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on the sample found to possess high levels of self-compassion, and thematic content analysis was employed. The findings indicate that an individual’s positive outlook towards himself/herself (Attitude towards Self) appears to positively influence his/her outlook towards his/her romantic partner (Attitude toward Partner). The practice of self-compassion thus appears to enable individuals to cease controlling behaviour towards their partner, expanding the likelihood of surrender, which has been observed to have multiple benefits especially in terms of harmonious interpersonal relationships and a higher sense of inner well-being.
