  • Psych With Cancer: Turning Suffering Into Something Good | Glynn Chambers

    In this deeply moving episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I reconnect with my old friend and colleague, Glynn Chambers—a psychologist based in Bendigo, Australia—who shares his raw and personal journey through cancer.

    Glynn speaks with honesty, insight, and even humour about his diagnosis, the emotional rollercoaster that followed, and what it means to live with uncertainty. He reflects on how he’s made sense of suffering, the role of vulnerability, and how self-compassion has become both a refuge and a resource. We also talk about his beautifully honest blog, Psych With Cancer, and his podcast, Chemotional Rollercoaster, where he explores the highs and lows of cancer with grace and wit.

    This conversation is full of heart—offering comfort, connection, and a few good laughs—for anyone living with illness or supporting someone who is.

    If you’re going through something hard, this one’s for you.

  • The Thread of Compassion: A Journey Through Time and Humanity

    What if compassion has always been with us—quietly guiding humanity through every age?

    In this video essay, I take you on a journey through time, exploring how compassion, kindness, and helpfulness have been understood and expressed by some of the world’s most influential thinkers, spiritual teachers, psychologists, and storytellers.

    From Aristotle and Confucius to Julian of Norwich and the Dalai Lama…

    From Viktor Frankl and Paul Gilbert to the unexpected wisdom of Paddington Bear…

    I’ve tried to weave a thread through it all—a thread of compassion that runs right through history and into our everyday lives.

    Whether you’re curious about philosophy, psychology, or just trying to live with a little more heart, I hope this gives you something meaningful to take with you.

    Thanks so much for watching.

  • Mindfulness, Compassion, and Addiction Recovery | Sarah Bowen

    In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I have the great pleasure of speaking with Dr Sarah Bowen—clinical psychologist, Associate Professor at Pacific University in Oregon, and one of the co-developers of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP).

    I first met Sarah back in 2011 at the Joshua Tree Retreat Centre during an MBRP facilitator training. That experience had a lasting impact on me—deepening my interest in mindfulness, compassion, and their place in addiction recovery. So it was a real joy to reconnect with her for this conversation.

    We explore the foundations of MBRP and how it brings together mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, and motivational interviewing to support people through the ups and downs of recovery. Sarah also shares her thoughts on how compassion and self-compassion—whether front and centre or gently in the background—play a vital role in healing.

    We dive into her research adapting MBRP for women with co-occurring PTSD and substance use difficulties, reflect on her time working with the late Allan Marlatt, and explore the integration of radical behaviourism and Buddhist psychology—two traditions that, while seemingly different, have surprising synergies when it comes to understanding suffering and change.

    It’s a rich, thoughtful, and deeply human conversation. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did.

  • How Compassion Heals from the Inside Out | Michaela Swee

    In this heartfelt and enlightening conversation, I sit down with Dr Michaela Swee—a board-certified clinical psychologist, clinical investigator at McLean Hospital, and faculty member at Harvard Medical School. Michaela brings together deep scientific insight, clinical wisdom, and a personal story of transformation: from aspiring actress to a leader in trauma-informed, compassion-focused care.

    We explore how Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) supports people struggling with shame, self-criticism, and complex PTSD, and how even small practices—like writing a compassionate letter to yourself—can have profound impact. Michaela shares findings from her research, reflections on her therapeutic work, and her passion for integrating creativity and courage into healing.

    This episode is for anyone curious about the science of compassion, the nuance of emotional healing, or simply how to be a little kinder to ourselves and others.
