IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING THE PAST SEXUAL HISTORY OF OUR PARTNERS/SPOUSES

  INTRODUCTION  There are two major  marital problems that are capable of bringing about marital instability.   They are sexual problems and issues surrounding fulfillment of the life assignment of either of the partners.     Are you surprised ? Yeah! I knew you weren't expecting those answers or one of them.    They are actually the major primary marital problems.Every other thing is secondary.    My experience in therapy has proven this over and over again.    In this article we will discuss one of the two.That is,sexual problems.There are several causes of sexual problems. Two of them are previous sexual abuse of one of the partners/spouses as a child mostly and sexual incompatibility.      Again,we will only discuss sexual incompatibility in this brief chat.     Sexual incompatibility can be defined as the existence of a sexual problem due to non-alignment of  sexual ideas ,beliefs and experien...

Dealing with bitterness?

 Episode 12,Mindshift, petals102.3Fm, every Thursday 10:45am (Nigeria Time) . Listen live www.petalsfm.com.ng  "Doctor Michaels,how do I deal with bitterness affecting my perception of people,relationships,productivity and fulfillment in life?I seem to repel good people." Answer:      Our emotions are immense energies within us that ultimately determine our outlook on life,how we relate with people ,productivity and performance at the workplace ,the events and people we attract and the eventual outcome of our lives.        This is because we are the creators of our realities through our thoughts,emotions,words,and actions as well as the eventual outcome of our lives.       Bitterness is a negative energy. It reduces our productivity,performance.It increases the rate of suspicion and makes us repel good people but attract negative people.It increases the occurrences and events we don't like .       Bitterne...

You are the architect of your own destiny!

 No matter what life throws at you,the eventual outcome of your life is still dependent on your final approval just the same way whatever happens in a company is dependent on whatever is approved by the chief executive of that company.Yes!That is how important you are.No force can stop you. The eventual outcome of your life is not dependent on God but on YOU! How far you will ever go in life is dependent on you and not on God. God has given you all that you need to work with. All He does now is to provide the necessary guidance you need to discover those treasures in you. Stop asking God to do what He has already done. You have been doing that for so long...yet little or no results. How long will you continue to waste time and energy ? Get up today and take charge of your life.  If you don't take charge,who will?

THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT OF A WOMAN 2

THE POWER OF THE MIND

           The  mind is one of the most powerful part of every human being.It has the credible power to create our realities in life.      It activates a law called the Law of Attraction/Law of the Universe.This law states that "whatever we think and thank about we bring about."It also applies to whatever we complain about .It simply means whatever we focus our minds on increases.    Interestingly,the mind cannot differentiate between real life or real life story  and a fake or fabricated  life story.This forms the basic of our 5-way interventional therapy regimen at Quantum Leap Consulting used in the healing of our clients who have gone through emotional trauma.    Another thing to not is that the mind is the most gullible.So to release it's power,you need to think in a gullible way.There is a saying " If you want to catch a monkey,you have to think and behave like a monkey."You have got to know how the mi...

8 Steps To Transcending Life Challenges/Trauma

     The Transcending Life Challenges Live chat on Instagram with Dr Oba Otuyemi was awesome.      We talked about the 5 steps to healing (acceptance,deleting, replacement,forgiveness and letting go).       We also talked about the fact that overcoming life challenges is same as healing while transcending life challenges is a step ahead of healing or overcoming life challenges.          Transcending life challenges is associated with Self Mastery.Self mastery is achieved by mind reprograming,affirmations and taking tough decisions.Forgetting or closure is an aftermath of letting go(someone asked if forgetting happens to be the same as deleting ...answer is no). 1. Admission  or acceptance of the trauma 2. Delete the trauma in your mind  3. Replace the traumatic story with your own happy ending version of the story.  4. Forgiveness Yourself,God, and the offender 5. Letting go 6. Mind reprograming 7. Affi...

My mum told me he is/was a good man at the beginning of their marriage but something happened after some years into marriage.That question (why did he leave ?)hunted me for many years. Then suddenly,I got the answer to my question.I got to know why he left getting married to other women.
