Dr. Dan Gottlieb is a psychotherapist, author and host of Voices in the Family, a weekly public radio program originating from WHYY in Philadelphia. In 1980, half his life ago, a wheel from a large truck crushed his car and he has been a quadriplegic ever since.Â
In this interview we discuss his current work and physical condition. Â He describes a recent severe accident where he was thrown from his wheelchair on the way to his first class to be a stand-up comic, and suffered a concussion and paralysis of his left arm. Â Although the pain in his arm remains, he says âitâs just an arm.â
In this program, Dr. Gottlieb describes how trauma changes human hormones and human wiring; and how the body holds the truth of our lives, without judgment or narrative; and his current work to teach compassion to oneself and others. This program was recorded by phone from his home near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 17, 2013, and is a sequel to his other interviews at radiocurious.org/gottlieb. His website is www.drdangottlieb.com  The books Dan Gottlieb recommends are: "Self Compassion: A Healthier Way of Relating to Yourself," by Kristin Neff, www.self-compassion.org and "Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation," by Sharon Salzberg, www.sharonsalzberg.com.
