    08 - CONFLICT - Teddy & Faye - A therapist's take on conflict, toxic conflict and relationship breakdown

    Welcome to Series 2 of the OPENHOUSE Podcast and our first OPEN(HEART) episode where Louise is joined by the incredible Dr Tari Mack - a leading clinical psychologist and a celebrity relationship expert. ⠀ In this episode, Louise & Tari go deep into the recent Teddy & Faye argument that recently blew up on Love Island and use it as a vehicle to discuss conflict and toxic conflict, what does it mean when we get triggered, where and who do we learn our anger responses from, and is anger self-sabotage or does it hold the key to something deeper? ⠀ Dr Tari also takes the pair through who was gaslighting who in this situation, who should have walked away; and whether or not she would advise the two to repair their relationship. ⠀ They also look at the biology of anger, what healthy conflict means; and the four 'horseman' - the four communication and conflict errors that have been statistically proven to be most likely to lead to divorce and relationship breakdown. ⠀⠀ Let us know how you enjoyed the episode and be sure to share this on social media, as well as giving us a rating and review on Apple or Spotify. ⠀ Connect with Louise on social: @iamlouiserumball ⠀ Connect with OPENHOUSE:  @openhouselife ⠀ Connect with Dr Tari Mack: @drtarimack ⠀ ⠀ Sign up to join the OPENHOUSE mailing list to receive first access to all workshops: www.thisisopenhouse.com ⠀ ⠀ Reach out to Dr Tari directly: www.drtarimack.com ⠀ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ⠀ Music Sources ⠀ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud ⠀ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXsY  Learn more about your ad choices.

    In this OPEN(HEART) episode of the OPENHOUSE Podcast, we discuss this week’s BIG celebrity news - the announcement that Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are engaged. We dive into Kourtney finding her person later in life, and how her previous relationship with Scott taught her what she didn’t want / need in her future relationships. ⠀ We explore the reason it’s important to do our own internal work in order to level up into a safer, more stable kind of relationship and why, as women, we shouldn’t feel pressured to find the perfect partner, and instead should focus on our own alignment. ⠀ We look at the psychology behind why many of us are more likely to find our person later in life and dive into: ⠀ ⇢ Dr. Tari’s thoughts on the people that are mourning over Kourtney & Scott’s relationship; ⠀ ⇢ How Kourtney’s relationship with Scott prepared her to be in a healthier relationship with Travis; and ⠀ ⇢ Why we need to choose people who grow and change with us. ⠀ Louise Rumball & Dr Tari Mack also go deeper into: ⠀ ⇢ Why, when we haven’t done the work to regulate ourselves, that we will be attracted to relationships that are chaotic; ⠀ ⇢ How feeling safe with your person can lead to a more sexual and passionate relationship; and ⠀ ⇢ Discuss why you don’t have to actively look for your partner. ⠀ Louise also shares her own personal dating stories, particularly: ⠀ ⇢ Why her past relationships have taught her what she wants or does not want moving forward; and ⠀ ⇢ Why she has 0% panic or fear of finding a partner, settling down or having children. ⠀ Let us know how you enjoyed the episode and be sure to share this on social media, as well as giving us a rating and review on Apple or Spotify. ⠀ Connect with Louise on social: @iamlouiserumball ⠀ Connect with OPENHOUSE: @openhouselife ⠀ Connect with Dr Tari Mack: @drtarimack ⠀ Sign up to join the OPENHOUSE mailing list to receive first access to all workshops, courses and live events: www.thisisopenhouse.com ⠀ Book your own Relationship Reading with Dr Tari by quoting OPENHOUSE or Louise Rumball for your discount: www.drtarimack.com ⠀ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ⠀ Music Sources ⠀ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud ⠀ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXsY Learn more about your ad choices.

    15 - HEARTBREAK - How to get over the breakup or person that you think you can't get over

    In this OPEN(HEART) episode of the OPENHOUSE Podcast, off the back of Episode 14 discussing all things Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s new engagement, today we look at Scott - discussing all things breakups as we shine a light on what we know Scott Disick might be feeling. ⠀ We dive into what to do when you feel like someone has got away, the different stages of a breakup and how to truly move through the relationships that we think we can never get over. ⠀ As Dr. Tari says, “breakups are the catalyst for the biggest chapters of healing,” leading us to explore why it’s important to look inward and why the feelings surrounding a breakup could go much deeper than the breakup itself. We discuss all things emotional wounds, including the abandonment and defectiveness wound - with Louise sharing her own experiences about what she learnt about her own break up. ⠀ We look at the psychology behind when we genuinely think that that person we are not with is the one and dive into: ⠀ ⇢ Why heartbreak can be worse than grieving the loss of somebody who died; ⠀ ⇢ Dr. Tari’s insight into why, if there’s been a breakup, that’s a clear indication that they are not your person; ⠀ ⇢ The psychology behind connection and closure - and why you do NOT need it in the way you think you do; and ⠀ ⇢ How to handle unhealthy coping mechanisms and why it’s important to stay in our power during a break up. ⠀ Louise Rumball & Dr Tari Mack also go deeper into: ⠀ ⇢ Scott choosing people that are at the same emotional maturity level as him; ⠀ ⇢ The different stages of a break up; and ⠀ ⇢ Why a relationship is never about the other person. ⠀ Louise also shares her own personal dating stories, particularly: ⠀ ⇢ Her last breakup; and ⠀ ⇢ Her healing journey post breakup and what she’s most proud of. ⠀ Let us know how you enjoyed the episode and be sure to share this on social media, as well as giving us a rating and review on Apple or Spotify. ⠀ Connect with Louise on social: @iamlouiserumball ⠀ Connect with OPENHOUSE: @openhouselife ⠀ Connect with Dr Tari Mack: @drtarimack ⠀ Sign up to join the OPENHOUSE mailing list to receive first access to all workshops, courses and live events: www.thisisopenhouse.com ⠀ Book your own Relationship Reading with Dr Tari by quoting OPENHOUSE or Louise Rumball for your discount: www.drtarimack.com ⠀ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ⠀ Music Sources ⠀ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud ⠀ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXsY Learn more about your ad choices.
