3. Staying in a relationship that you know has passed its deadline?

4 . Going back into a relationship that you know should be over?

5. Getting into a relationship that you know is not going anywhere?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions then you have boundary issues you need to work on. Book a few sessions to learn how to establish Healthy Boundaries.

"According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve math's, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm:

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.

When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider su***de.

Parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports and Arts.

Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.

Finally, do not prepare the road for your children. Prepare your children for the road."

ARE WE A GENERATION RAISED BY A TRAUMATIZED GENERATION⁉️⁉️

Researchers in the field of Psychology have determined 10 specific traumatic childhood experiences, or ACEs, that could be linked to a higher likelihood of health challenges later in life and that the likelihood of these negative effects increased with the number of “ACEs” a child experienced.

If you have experienced any of the below ACEs then you are a victim of childhood trauma.

✅ Physical, s*xual or verbal abuse.
✅ Physical or emotional neglect.
✅ Separation or divorce.
✅ A family member with mental illness.
✅ A family member addicted to drugs or alcohol.
✅ A family member who is in prison.
✅ Witnessing a parent being abused.

An ACE score is a tally of different types of abuse, neglect, and other hallmarks of a rough childhood. According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences study, the rougher your childhood, the higher your score is likely to be and the higher your risk for later health problems.

What is Intergenerational Trauma?

✅ Intergenerational trauma is defined as trauma that gets passed down from those who directly experience an incident to subsequent generations. Intergenerational trauma may begin with a traumatic event affecting an individual, traumatic events affecting multiple family members, or collective trauma affecting larger community, cultural, racial, ethnic, or other groups/populations (historical trauma).
