[@seekingthelost7]

[@triplejandfriends3765]

Thank you, Dr Leaf, for these really helpful tools! My husband and I are going through your devotional “Switch on Your Brain 365 Days” and we are learning and applying so much. What a different world this would be if everyone could learn all that your teaching. God bless you, Dr Leaf!

[@keyasen8456]

Thanks for your lovely words

You are definitely a God send.God bless you as you continue in His work. 😊

[@user-on4ym7jt2c]

You, doctor, are the most impressive therapist.!!!

[@Theresa-eh5ue]

It has been very helpful👌

[@Miazworld1990]

Excellent way of explaining, thanks for this, for now on I’m going to practice guarding myself and my feelings and preparing my brain for the worst and responding with compassion

[@SUGARlea11]

Dr. Leaf, it is hard for me to process all the wickedness and corruption in this word. It's discouraging and feels hopeless. Prophets say things are going to get better. I trust God to help us, yet the world is getting darker and I feel insecure about life.

[@PaddlesUpMedia]

Excellent podcast! Thank you so much for sharing this! Always love your visuals too! Big hugs and blessing to you DR. Caroline! -Amy

[@gospelician]

Amen! Suit of Armour. Like Paul said, Put on the WHOLE armour of GOD ---> The Helmet of Salvation!!! Suit up daily! ❤

[@chilombosilwembe9639]

Thank you for sharing this Dr Caroline. I have been negatively affected by what people say , I will practice this process.

[@danielchan7023]

Dr. Leaf, Thank you, now that's first time helps more than get a quick fix(antidepressants) And practice

[@janameznar4691]

This is so powerful and helpful!! Thank you so much 🥰

[@bulldog3512]

How much healing would you say is just from listening to your podcasts and absorbing this knowledge, compared to writing and other work that may need to be done? I exercise, eat well and am passionate about my work. I also listen and think a lot about your message and similar ones like the late great Dr. John Sorno, but other then texting myself certain tidbits I pick up or think about from the podcasts or thoughts I get on the walk, I am not someone who writes much. Thank you!

[@alexg7472]

That is so amazing, I see it! I can imagine the breakdown like stars in the sky that align to make branches which on smaller scale is our brain wow

[@CynthiaRaeC]

Thank you for this helpful information and advice! For a future podcast, can you give some specific examples of what we can think (making the instead of the triggered response?

[@user-fk7sr6fx7s]

[@sethgroves875]

Love this and love u

[@IntuitiveCoachTheresa]

Thanks Dr. Leaf, great explanation of what happens when our brain/mind perceives information that comes as sound waves, light, etc. I would love to hear, if you can, what is the exact biochemistry that you and your team discovered, ie, what is the actual mechanism of protein synthesis and how do those proteins grow the "roots and branches" of the neural networks, and what actually ARE they? Are they discrete neuron/neuron bundles, or are they temporary, then later, in reinforced neural net's firing for that purpose, etc? So cool! Blessings!

[@karenbibeault6947]

How do I deal with my narcissistic daughter? She is. It allowing me to see my grandkids and she knows how much it hurts. She is telling them lies to them about us

[@lynareantoinette]

I would have loved to had some examples of things to say. I came to KZbin from your podcast hoping you had a visual of examples that maybe I couldn’t see.

[@dobrayanata]

0:30 cool ❤

[@tijuanafricana]

Hi from minute 8:40 on, you mentioned a suit of something. Can you please type it or add it to the episode highlights? I am sorry, english is not my native language. Thank you.

[@ProfessorBorax]

This was all very abstract to me. Kind of convoluted, difficult to follow :p

[@shalahcarolshaffron7299]

so how do you not let the smoker in the adjacent apartment whose smoke seeps through the wall and gets my hair, clothes, furniture and etc stinking like cigarette smoke affect me??? Landlord WON'T do anything and this is a gov't subsidized apartment NO smoking permitted inside, but management lets them and always says I don't smell anything. At this point I can't afford to move

[@siobhanmcgregor2557]

ye, i'm not an emaciated hard bodied blonde anymore ; i'm more of a squidgy brunette.

[@siobhanstrauss8492]

I like CL she is not like an obnoxious showy she male constantly bragging her life and money

[@deewheeler7]

Ads throughout the middle ruin the flow of thought.

[@kymchessall7853]

This is the only way to cure every illness on our planet. The truth is out. Thank You Caroline 🤍
