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?; andWhere does she go from here?Louise and the therapists discuss:How affairs startThe type of man or woman who are most susceptible to being ‘The Other’The statement ‘I can’t leave’ and what this really meansThe concept of power play and adrenalineThe difference between attention & intentionThe darker, shadow sides of when we accept shameful loveHow to leave or end an affair andHow to avoid one happening in the first placeAnd 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 - hereAccess 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
