Louize is a chartered social psychologist with the Psychological Society of Ireland who has worked in the area of mental health and relationships for over 16 years. She is also the resident psychologist on Today FM with Dermot and Dave (now just Dave!) and she features on The Therapy Room podcast - a spin off series with Dr Tony Bates; and Niall Breslin on his award-winning podcast, Where Is My Mind. She has written for several years for the Sunday Business Post on relationships and she is also the Bass Player in the band, The Blizzards. But at the core of her work is her own experience of toxic patterns in personal relationships in the past.  She’s currently integrating everything she would have needed in a program named 'Wisely Attached'. Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s podcast:    The role Disney and movies play in our expectations of relationships and love  Where love can take a wrong turn and start to negatively impact our lives  Why autonomy, not codependency fuels passion  The reason forgiveness is not always the path to healing  How to get over an ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend Why we can seek what’s familiar in a relationship (not what’s good for us) How to release emotional baggage so you don't carry it into your current or next relationship  Self-love, self-respect and self-worth. The things that we need to find ourselves either in or out of a relationship.  And much more..   Today’s podcast is sponsored by the Rewire Your Mindset Course https://briankeanefitness.com/rewire-your-mindset-course   (Website) Home - Wisely Attached (mailchimpsites.com) (Instagram) Louize (@louizecarroll) • Instagram photos and videos (Facebook) Facebook (Courses) Wisely Attached - Heal Anxiety & Transform (f8cbbd-37.myshopify.com)
