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

Customer Reviews
Refreshing, practical advice for women in todays world
Love the advice and scientific background given about the psychology behind why we do the things we do and how to change it.
LOVE THIS PODCAST
This podcast turned me into a podcast girly. I was going through a breakup that “destroyed” me and I could relate a lot to the content at the beginning, and haven’t stopped relating… or listening! I’m in therapy myself now and this podcast was the catalyst to my own healing journey and I couldn’t be more grateful!
I just love how accepting and full of love and compassion this podcast is. Thank you, Louise!! You’re changing lives daily!! 🩵 Not nearly as healed as I want to be yet, but this podcast will continue to be a source I use as my healing journey continues. The content just gets better and better.
Host takes up too much space
The content this podcast covers is the best. I follow A LOT of relationship and attachment therapists/coaches and the content Louise chooses to explore is nuanced and relevant and spot on. Unfortunately, there are episodes (like the mother wound part 2) where I don’t get anything out of it because Louise has made herself the center. I’ve timed it, and sometimes it takes her a minute to ask a question. The rambling and self-centered focus lacks awareness and embodiment. Sometimes it sounds like an addiction to drama, just kind of going on and on about unimportant details. It lacks concise interviewing that would make this podcast seem more educational and professional. It seems like she’s made a whole brand out of this sort of TikTok/“relatable” approach, but I think it cuts off a whole demographic of people that want to know the science and want to hear from the therapist/expert more than we want to hear about the host’s drama and nonstop chatter. I think this is a growth area for Louise that I hope she chooses to work on within herself because the world needs this content. The world doesn’t need her drama tho . I’d absolutely tune in more if this was cleaned up.
