63 - INFIDELITY - The psychology of "The Other Woman" and how to avoid becoming her (+ how to heal)

The OPENHOUSE therapists discuss a user submission on someone who has been the ‘Other Woman’ for too long. She asks the team:⇢ *HOW* did this situation happen?⇢ How did she get so brainwashed?⇢ What sort of man (or woman) entertains a long term affair?⇢ Why and how does this person have so much power over her?; and⇢ Where does she go from here? Louise and the therapists discuss:⇢ How affairs start⇢ The type of man or woman who are most susceptible to being ‘The Other’⇢ The statement ‘I can’t leave’ and what this really means⇢ The concept of power play and adrenaline⇢ The difference between attention & intention⇢ The darker, shadow sides of when we accept shameful love⇢ How to leave or end an affair and⇢ How to avoid one happening in the first place And more. Louise also shares her own personal experience with ‘being the other’ and discusses The Thimble Analogy - the game changing therapy analogy that radically changes the way that you understand how, and why, you accept less than loving love - and how to change this.––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––  Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumballConnect with Louise on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcastConnect with Dr Tari Mack: @drtarimackConnect with Massimo Fontana on Instagram: hereJoin ‘The House’ - the private OPENHOUSE community - here Access our therapy guides, sign up to join the OPENHOUSE mailing list or submit a question to the OPENHOUSE HOTLINE: www.thisisopenhouse.com ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––  Music SourcesVibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXsY Learn more about your ad choices.
