    In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I revisit a remarkable 2019 conversation I had with with Dr. Marcela Matos from the University of Coimbra. Dr. Matos shares her journey into psychology, focusing on her pioneering research on shame, shame memories, and compassion. Together, we delve into the evolutionary roots and traumatic qualities of shame, its impact on mental health, and the potential of self-compassion and Compassion Focused Therapy to mitigate these effects. Tune in for a profound discussion on the intersections of psychology, compassion, and human experience.
