Topic: Reasons Adult Coloring Books Are Great for Your Mental, Emotional, and Intellectual Health
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
Is it true that the practice of "prescribing" adult coloring stems all the way back to the late psychologist Carl Jung?
What types of emotional and mental health issues can Adult coloring books help with?
Coloring can obviously bring us back to a simpler time, but you also note that coloring has intellectual benefits as well. Could you say a little about that?
You noted that coloring utilizes ‘both’ sides of the brain, so not only as it applies to your field, but what other areas can this be used in for treatment?
Adult coloring books clearly help serve many purposes that are beneficial, what are some thoughts you would like to leave listeners with?

Prior to that she attended the University of St. Francis where she completed a double major in Psychology and Therapeutic Recreation. Dr. Martinez has experience working with adolescents and adults in individual, family, and group treatment.
Her therapeutic style can be described as integrative, assessing the needs and style that will best serve the individual client. She typically has a mix between Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy and various holistic approaches, with an emphasis in CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Positive Psychology. She believes in exploring the connection between the body and the mind to treat all the individuals’ needs. Her belief is that an individual must explore many areas of their functioning to ensure optimum health physically and emotionally.
She stresses the essential belief that the therapist and client relationship is collaborative in nature, and the two are 'partners,' who communicate from the first steps of designing the course and goals of treatment, as well as what the priorities will be. Dr. Martinez understands that it is just as important to identify any treatment styles, tools, techniques, or methods that 'did not' work, as did, so that the two of you can work together charting a new path and avoiding precious time and frustration on that which has already been proven to be a poor fit. Dr. Martinez also understands that each person is unique, there is no 'one size fits all,' and that the needs of an individual may not only change from the initial inception of a treatment plan, but from month to month or session to session, and that adapting and meeting the patient 'where they are at,' at any given moment is essential to both letting the patient know they are being heard and attended to, as well as positive treatment outcomes.
Areas of expertise: Medical and health psychology, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and neurodivergent considerations, LGBTQ populations, bereavement, forensics, substance abuse, addictive issues, couples work, MISA, co-occurring disorders, domestic violence, sex offenders, special needs populations, and chronic medical issues and rare diseases.

Topic: The Psychology of Asking for Forgiveness and Forgiving 
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
Let's start with what makes an apology meaningful? What makes the person giving one seem sincere?
Now what if a person is committing regrettable acts over and over again, and keeps asking for forgiveness? At what point does an apology become pointless?
So what about the person doing the forgiving? Is there a psychology behind forgiveness?
To put yet another spin on this subject, how does the public tend to feel about public apologies from investors, politicians, athletes, and celebrities?
Are there people who appear to be beyond saving, or beyond apologizing, and those who seem genuine? What is the difference?

Topic: Accepting the Limitations of Others and Learning to Accept Ourselves
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
You talk about the importance of individuals accepting the limitations of others when it comes to what they are capable of giving someone else in terms of ANY level of acceptance. Can you speak a little about that?
How can continuing to seek approval from someone who is not capable be harmful to an individual in the short and long term?
You note that an individual accepting that seeking the approval and various self-concept needs from another who is not capable can be healing and empowering. Can you expand on that?
What might it 'look like" for an individual to stop looking for acceptance in another, and start to accept themselves?
Are individuals likely to fall back into patterns of seeking approval from the original person vs themselves, and what should they do if they catch themselves doing this?

Topic: The Eternal Present: Living in the Here and Now
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
When You Say "The Eternal Present," because this is a phrase we have seen used in other contexts, what do YOU mean by it?
To understand the benefits of being 'present,' we have to understand the harmfulness of 'living in the past,' can you say a little about that?
You also note that it can be unproductive to obsess about the future. Can you speak a little about that?
How does the concept of the "Eternal Present" represent or mirror your treatment philosophy?
Once people see the benefits of living in the present, do they ever 'slip up' and revert to old behaviors and ways of thinking and acting?

Petzbe, the new social media app for all things pets! No people allowed!

 
Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs of Petzbe which is a new social media platform joins eHealth Radio and the Animal Health & Health News Channels. Petzbe combines two things that most Americans love, their pets and social media.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guests Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose Riggs discuss the following:
How did you come up with the idea for Petzbe?
Pets are so good for our health and well being. What are some ways in which our pets can help us with our health and wellness?
Through Petzbe we see the world through the voice of our beloved pets. Do you think that this site is sort of therapeutic for people in a world where most social media is political and often negatively emotional for many?
What is the “Vetbe" section of the App?
How does "Lend A Paw" work and what are some of the charities that have benefitted from “Lend A Paw”?
How do you download Petzbe?
Summary: Petzbe is one of the fasted growing social media platforms where the user opens an account on behalf of their beloved pets. All the photos, videos, opinions and messaging on Petzbe come from the perspective of your pets and takes on their persona. Studies have shown that pets can be very beneficial for our own physical and mental health well-being. The brain child of millennial, Andrea Nerep the site is available on your smart phone App Store and it is sure to be the “cutest community platform” available today.
What would your pets say if they could speak? What’s their voice like – sassy, cute, witty, grumpy, playful? PETZBE is the leading social media app connecting pet parents in a community where they share their pets’ lives from the perspective of the pet. PETZBE’S purpose is to provide a positive pet-centric social media experience for pet parents to form meaningful connections with each other and trusted companies in the pet industries.
Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.”
PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members.
Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet’s photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member’s content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.
