How To Build A Good Emotional Health
As an adult, where does your EMOTIONAL FULFILLMENT comes from – It should come from God!! As a child, that emotional fulfillment should come from your parents. In the way of parent-child bonding, during this bonding process, there is a hormone that the body releases for both parent and child called Oxytocin which helps in the bonding process.

The Importance Of Parent-Child Bonding
The parent-child bonding process is the genesis of the child’s psychological development. Therefore, the absence of the bonding process could, in fact, produce stress and trauma in a child’s life. In addition, experiences such as neglect, abandonment, and lack of communication could be subtle ways the child may experience trauma. The Bonding Process When there is an active bonding process, both parent and child produce an essential hormone and chemical called Oxytocin, a vital chemical needed for bonding.

The Philosophy Of God Involving Man In His Creative Process
We need to allow God to do His work in our life; What we have to do is to wait on Him for instructions on how to proceed. In contrast, when we try to do what only God can, we risk living a life of stress, worry, and anxiety. To have God work in our life calls for us to depend on Him and Trust Him entirely. How Does The Creating Process Happen? For spiritual things, God takes care of them, but when it comes to the physical aspect of creating, God will give us the instruction and the go-ahead on how to handle the creation process. This act calls for us to…

The Philosophy Of The Two Types Of Wisdom
To be blunt, The Lord says everyone is born with foolishness in their heart – we can read that in Proverbs. Foolishness is the opposite of wisdom. Proverbs 22:15 AMP says – Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him. So I ask a curious question if that foolishness is not removed from the child’s heart, do they grow up as adults and make unwise decisions? We can debate that question in the comment section or something for you to think about – What Is Wisdom? Initially, Adam was surrendered to God. He had…

How God Heals Us From Traumatic Symptoms
Traumatic symptoms are symptoms that a large amount of the population suffers from – after a recent study, children as young as five years old were rushed to the hospital for battling with suicidal thoughts. A person is made of spirit, soul, and a human body. Genesis 2:7 – And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Our human body enables us to survive in the material world, and it ‘houses’ both our spirit and soul. However, our spirit is ‘dead’ at birth until we believe in Jesus and come to salvation; we then become ‘born again.’ (John 3:3) …
