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.
