The Dr Pat Show, January 26, 2011
Ten Thousand Joys & Ten Thousand Sorrows: A Couple's Journey Through Alzheimer's follows the journey of Olivia and her husband Harrison's (Hob's) diagnosis and ultimate decline from Alzheimer's disease. Infused with the wisdom from a shared psychology background, as well as from years of Buddhist practice and study (Hob was an ordained senior teacher by Thich Nhat Hanh), Olivia's powerful account provides both spiritual and practical approaches to anyone dealing with caregiving issues, and mental loss or diminishment of any kind.
Endorsed by His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, he says: "Many themes run through this story. One is the powerful role that Olivia and Hob's love and affection plays in their coping with the challenge of Hob's Alzheimer's. Another is the importance of the acceptance of suffering. There is not much we can do about aging or Alzheimer's, but, as Hoblitzelle reveals here, accepting the condition in which we find ourselves can be a far more positive approach in the long run."

Her fresh, new perspective on living life full out has catapulted her show to the top position in alternative talk radio! She’s a ‘CAN-DO’ kind of gal who will help you break free from everything that’s keeping you stuck in. Dr. Pat brings her cut-to-the-chase attitude and delivers a common sense approach to spirituality using common language that is powerful and entertaining.
The show is all about being informed, savvy, and open to the possibilities of the spiritual world. It’s about how to develop strategic relationships and understanding the law of attraction and how to put it to use in your life. But mostly, it’s about demystifying spirituality. “You don’t have to be a monk living in a monastery and meditating daily to understand that you are truly a divine spiritual being. So tune in, because I want to help you THRIVE, not merely survive!” – Dr. Pat
