28 - FRIENDSHIP BREAKDOWN - What to do if your friend (or partner) dumps you or phases you out

Welcome to the final episode of the friendship series. In this OPEN(HEART) episode we ask clinical psychologist Dr Tari Mack what to do when a friend (or a partner) breaks up with you. ⠀ Louise & Dr Tari take a recent example that one of Louise’s friends went through, when she got ghosted by a friend. Dr Tari Mack shares information on: ⠀ ⇢ How self-awareness can help avoid these situations happening; ⠀ ⇢ How open conversation, communication & discussion can reduce the severity of the situations. ⠀ Dr Tari and Louise also discuss: ⠀ ⇢ How the same principles in friendship breakdowns apply to romantic relationships; ⠀ ⇢ What to do when someone sets a boundary that you feel is unfair; ⠀ ⇢ Whether you ever really are owed a conversation or discussion by someone else? ⠀ ⇢ How to move on from friendships that you don’t know if you can. ⠀ And: ⠀ ⇢ How helpful therapy can be with the breakdown of friendships to help with the healing and self-awareness process. ⠀ If you enjoyed this episode, please do share on your social media or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so we can help spread the word about our #FreeTherapy. ⠀ 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 ⠀ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ⠀ 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.
