How to Break Unstable Relationship Patterns

Source http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tinybuddha/~3/qIZTh41MqGA/

“Being willing to accept responsibility for the situation you’re in is the first step to a more fulfilling love life.” ~Renée Suzanne

Remember the haunting ballad “Foolish Games” by Jewel?

Jewel wrote the song when she was sixteen. She kept a serious journal, and said in an interview that a verse in the song was “about a relationship that I was dramatically involved in on paper.”

That pretty much sums up my first relationship, which was a dramatic pseudo-relationship in many ways. I was sixteen going on seventeen, hopelessly romantic yet shrewdly skeptical of love at the same time. My emotions were wild and intense, and that was what I thought “real love” felt like.

This drama followed me throughout the…

Weekend Reading: Labor of Lunch

Jennifer Gaddis.  The Labor of Lunch: Why We Need Real Food and Real Jobs in American Public Schools.  University of California Press, 2019.

This book is a welcome addition to the growing library of works focusing on labor in the food system.  This topic deserves attention and Gaddis is looking at the plight of an especially neglected group, the people who make and serve food to kids in schools.   Unlike any other school program, the USDA-managed National School Lunch—and Breakfast—Programs are expected to be self-supporting through payments by parents and federal reimbursements.  They are chronically underfunded and issues of cost matter far more than food quality.

Gaddis lays out the issues in her introduction:

Study reveals how TBI can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder

Source: http://www.brainhealtheducation.org/study-reveals-how-tbi-can-lead-to-post-traumatic-stress-disorder/

Published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers report that a TBI causes changes in a brain region called the amygdala; and the brain processes fear differently after such an injury. The researchers studied the amygdala, which is known to be crucial in learning fear. People with anxiety disorders have increased activity in the amygdala, and

Evidence for Inflammation to Drive Tau Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2019/11/evidence-for-inflammation-to-drive-tau-pathology-in-alzheimers-disease/

Researchers here provide evidence for the aggregation of altered forms of tau protein in the aging brain, and the resulting death of neurons, to be driven by chronic inflammation. This is good news if true, given recent work carried out in animal models of tauopathy, in which clearance of inflammatory, senescent glial cells in the brain was <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2018/08/clearing-senescent-cells-from-the-brain-reduces-tau-aggregation-and-improves-function-in-mous…
