Compassion in a T-Shirt

In this enlightening episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I have the privilege of sitting down with Professor Bill Miller, co-founder of Motivational Interviewing and Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, to explore his profound new book, 8 Ways to Hope: Charting a Path Through Uncertain Times.

Together, we dive deep into the eight facets of hope—desire, probability, possibility, optimism, trust, meaning and purpose, perseverance, and hope beyond hope—while also examining the delicate balance between hope and fear, and the choice to hold onto hope even in the face of despair.

Professor Miller shares timeless wisdom, backed by science, as well as poetry and quotes, that illuminate the essence of hope and its power to transform lives. We also tackle the concept of false hope, and what it means to cultivate a hope that is both realistic and enduring. This conversation offers rich insights for anyone seeking hope, purpose, and compassion in their journey. Oh yes, we do also speak about compassion!

Join us for a thought-provoking, soulful discussion that will leave you inspired and uplifted...and, dare I say, hopeful!

I have the great honour of welcoming Professor Rhonda McGee, a pioneering voice in mindfulness, compassion, and social justice, to discuss how mindfulness can be a tool for social change.

In this enlightening conversation, we explore the importance of care and compassion, the inner work required to address racism and inequality, and the ways mindfulness can transform individuals and communities.

Professor McGee, author of 'The Inner Work of Racial Justice,' shares insights on how traditional ideas about identity and hyper-individualisation can cause suffering, and emphasises the need for interconnectedness.

We also discuss systemic issues and the historical context of racism, along with the role of mindfulness and compassion practices in bringing awareness and fostering courage to address these deep-rooted challenges.

[This episode with Dr Aaron Frost is from a recent YouTube episode that aired on 5 July 2024. It is released here as a podcast to compliment the episode with Dr Scott Miller released last Friday (dated 13 September 2024)]

DELIBERATE PRACTICE helps us ACHIEVE MASTERY IN ANYTHING...including compassion! Dr Aaron Frost talks here about a very particular aspect to compassionate action: psychotherapy. And even here, we need to know how to PRACTICE EFFECTIVELY.

In this conversation, Aaron explains WHAT IS DELIBERATE PRACTICE, as well as the four pillars of excellence for psychotherapists: focusing on the client, the therapist, the practice and the business.

Routine outcome measurement, session feedback from clients, reducing client dropout, focusing on core therapist skills...all of this gets discussed in a conversation that emphasises that LEARNING TO LEARN IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT SKILL.

And it is just as important when we are trying to cultivate a more compassionate life.

In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I’m joined by Dr. Scott D. Miller, a renowned psychologist and co-founder of the International Center for Clinical Excellence.

. What is compassion and what does compassion mean in therapy?

. Scott’s thoughts on balancing compassion with data-driven approaches like FIT

. The challenges and potential of integrating compassion into measurable, outcome-focused therapy

[This episode with Tony Fernando (28 August 2024) from the YouTube vault is released to compliment the episode with Stephen Trzeciak released last Sunday (25 August 2024). Tony's original YouTube episodes (released in two parts, 18 and 25 July 2021) can be found here: Part 1 and Part 2.]

"As long as the sky exists, as long as there are sentient beings, may I remain to help and relieve them of their suffering."

"Teams know what are the blocks to compassion, what prevents them from being compassionate, and what are the things that they do that can actually enhance it."

Dr Tony Fernando is a psychiatrist and researcher in Auckland, New Zealand. He obtained his medical degree from the University of the Philippines and his internship at St Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital (Columbia University) in New York.

Tony’s research interests are in sleep medicine and medical compassion. He plays the cello, is a cheap-eats foodie and despite his fear of the water, has swum across the Auckland Harbour and competes in ocean races and triathlons.

In January of 2017, he received temporary ordination as a Buddhist monk in Chanmyay Myaing monastery in Myanmar. He completed his PhD at the University of Auckland, studying barriers to compassion in medicine. More recently, he started a weekly mindfulness and emotional balance programme for inmates at Mt Eden Correctional Facility in Auckland.
