Sadly, many people don't know the difference. When you're in a healthy relationship it means caring for that person which involves loving them and being in love with them! To care for a person, also means you will protect them and do them no kind of harm. If a person is controlling you it is not love! If you're controlling or if you're a person who allows a controlling person in your life, you're both of unhealed hearts and minds! People treat you how you've taught them to treat you!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, exploring how the brain's ability to change can lead to chronic pain, anxiety, and other unexplained physical symptoms.   She discusses the protective responses the brain creates in reaction to perceived danger and how these responses can manifest as real physical sensations. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the body-mind connection and how fear can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms.   Ali provides insights into identifying neuroplastic symptoms and offers hope for healing through awareness and understanding.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms can change how we understand chronic pain. The brain's ability to change is called neuroplasticity. Protective responses can create real physical symptoms. Many conditions we chase treatments for are neuroplastic. Chronic pain often has no structural cause. Emotional trauma can lead to neuroplastic symptoms. Symptoms can be driven by fear and anxiety. Understanding the body-mind connection is crucial. Breaking the symptom-fear cycle is key to healing. You're not alone; many people experience neuroplastic symptoms.

In "Lights Out: Protective Mr. Drogen," a bizarre narrative unfolds centering on a man's startling confession of taking a life and the subsequent pandemonium that erupts in its wake. The listener is immediately thrust into an unsettling situation as this individual seeks out a doctor, not for medical treatment of a physical ailment, but to unravel the profound implications of his deadly deed. Their interaction delves into the peculiar abilities the man appears to wield, powers that defy conventional understanding and venture into the realm of the extraordinary.The dialogue between the confessor and the doctor becomes a philosophical exploration of miracles, examining their dual nature – the potential for benevolent acts alongside the capacity for malevolent influence. As the story progresses, a palpable tension permeates the atmosphere, fueled by the characters' struggle to comprehend the extent of these powers and the inherent risks of manipulation and control they present. The narrative skillfully crafts a sense of unease as the implications of such extraordinary abilities begin to crystallize.The central conflict revolves around the ethical dilemmas arising from the man's confession and his apparent powers. The characters grapple with questions of responsibility, morality, and the very definition of reality in the face of the seemingly impossible. The doctor, initially a figure of scientific reasoning, is forced to confront the limitations of his knowledge as he witnesses events that challenge his understanding of the natural world. The confessed killer, on the other hand, embodies an enigma, his motivations and the source of his abilities shrouded in mystery.The story culminates in a thoughtful reflection on the inherent goodness that resides within humanity and the potential pitfalls of undervaluing this fundamental aspect of human nature. Despite the unsettling events and the presence of potentially dangerous abilities, the narrative suggests a deeper faith in the resilience and inherent morality of people. This reflection serves as a poignant commentary on the enduring struggle between good and evil and the importance of maintaining hope even in the face of the extraordinary and the disturbing. The conversation concludes with a tantalizing preview of the next installment, hinting at themes of escape and promising further exploration into the shadowy world of "Lights Out."TakeawaysThe story begins with a mysterious confession.A doctor visits a man who claims to have killed someone.The effects of an unusual drink lead to strange realizations.Miracles can be rationalized as coincidences.The protagonist grapples with the power of negative miracles.There is a discussion about the potential for positive miracles.The idea of blackmail emerges as a theme.The protagonist realizes the implications of his newfound power.The conversation highlights the importance of goodness in humanity.A teaser for the next story introduces themes of escape.strange story, confession, doctor visit, unusual drink, miracles, power, blackmail, control, goodness, escape

During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're wrapping up a 3-part series on Zephaniah in a series we called “The Theology of Compassionate Consequences”. It may initially sound like an oxymoron – a contradiction in terms - to pair the words “compassionate” and “consequences” together, kind of like “jumbo shrimp” or “act naturally” or “climb down”. It begs the question, “If God really is unconditionally loving, then why do we have to suffer consequences at all?” Here's the deal y'all, God's parameters aren't punitive or pejorative…they are always promissory and protective. Psalm 16:5 says it best, “His boundary lines for me have fallen in pleasant places.” Alli, Dr. Howard & I are so happy you've chosen to carve out this time to hang out on the porch with us, please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, then feel free to lean back and put your feet up. This is a safe place to lean further into the unconditional love of our Creator Redeemer. Lisa Harper's Luke Study is available here.

Send us a textAngel Henderson turns conventional wisdom about "protective" braided styles upside down in this eye-opening conversation about hair health, scalp care, and the true cost of convenience styling. The natural hair expert begins by challenging our fundamental understanding of protective styles, asking the provocative question: "What are we actually protecting?" Most of us aren't protecting our hair at all; we're protecting our time. This mindset shift sets the stage for a deep exploration of when braids help versus when they harm. Hair loss warning signs get special attention as Angel outlines exactly what to watch for: white bulbs appearing consistently around edges, persistent itching, inflammation, and redness. "When you see consistent white bulbs, especially around your hairline, sometimes that's not coming back," she cautions. Her professional experience reveals how ignoring these signals can lead to permanent conditions like traction alopecia or Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). The conversation tackles hard truths about our beauty priorities, with Angel noting how willing we are to invest in synthetic hair while neglecting our natural crown. "You spend all that money on weave and braids, but you will not spend money on your hair," she observes. Her passion for client education shines through as she describes turning away business rather than participating in clients' hair damage cycle. Angel shares practical scalp care recommendations, including her favorite treatments, and explains why that six-week mark seems to be the sweet spot for most braided styles before they become counterproductive. For anyone wearing braids or considering them, this conversation offers the science and soul of proper hair care, emphasizing that healthy hair isn't about quick fixes but a committed journey worth taking.________________________________________________________Stay connected with Angel by following the links below: Website: Schedule an Appointment with AngelInstagram_________________________________________________________Instrumentals: @duwhop_2.0Support the showDo you have a story to share that's worth our listeners hearing, please fill out the Listener Letters Form and tell us your story!

In this thought-provoking Clinician's Corner episode, Clarissa Kennedy and Molly Painschab dive deep into the ever-popular term “self-sabotage” — and why they believe it's not only inaccurate but potentially harmful in the context of food addiction recovery.   Together, they explore how behaviors often labeled as self-sabotage are actually maladaptive coping strategies, formed through years of survival. These are not signs of brokenness, but evidence of brilliance in navigating pain, trauma, and unmet needs. The duo discusses how using shame-based language like “chronic relapser” or “self-sabotage” can derail healing, and instead, offer curiosity, compassion, and nervous system awareness as more empowering alternatives.   This episode is packed with insight, real client stories, and powerful reframes that will resonate with anyone navigating food addiction, emotional eating, or recovery setbacks.   Key Takeaways: •
