Topic: Is Mind Reading Ruining Your Relationship?
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
What is "Mind Reading?"
You had some statistics from the American Psychological Association on divorce rates, and some common themes you see come up that you thought were useful to know.
What are some of the commonly named factors among couples who come to couples therapy, or ultimately end up divorcing?

Are couples often surprised to find out what the other ‘actually meant’ in a certain situation? 

Does being aware of these issues and “Mind Reading” guarantee that a couple will never disagree?
Dr. Nicole Martinez received her master’s and her Doctorate from Illinois School of Professional Psychology and completed her pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowship at Gateway Foundation in Lake Villa, Illinois. Prior to that she attended the University of St. Francis where she completed a double major in Psychology and Therapeutic Recreation.

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.

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?

It seems Beno is a very lucky boy. Can you let me know a little bit more about your medical mission to those in need in other countries, and how you and Texas Back institute work together to help those in need?
I understand scoliosis is a curving of the spine, in very casual laymen’s terms. Can you educate us about this condition and how it impacts individuals?
While all surgeries are complicated, the outcome you created for Beno seems nothing short of miraculous. Can you share a bit about your background and how you came to your calling as a surgeon in this arena?
Can you tell us what is next for you and your medical colleagues at Texas Back institute? Is there a country, condition or even an individual patient you’ve set your sights on as your next philanthropic mission of mercy?

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?
