Why is it that you can know someone isn’t right for you and still miss them like your life depends on it? And why does heartbreak make getting through a normal day feel so difficult? Why does it feel like you may never find love or happiness again? Today, I am uncovering the neuroscience of heartbreak and healing: how and why love becomes tangled up with reward, attachment and your sense of self, and why losing someone can hurt so much, even physically. What physical and chemical changes are happening in the brain. Then ill get practical about healing. How you can re-wire and the brain back to a happy state, interrupt the idealising, and start building a life that feels like yours again, all through neuroscience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, the speaker delves into the concept of attachment and how it can cause suffering in our lives. We're often told to "let go" or "detach" from things that are causing us pain, but what does that really mean? Is it about caring less or loving less? Not quite. Attachment is not the enemy, but rather our unhealthy attachment styles that can lead to anxiety, fear, and grief. Attachment is not just about relationships, but also about our attachment to physical objects, places, and even our identities. I talk about studies that show the effectiveness of attachment security priming in improving positive emotions and reducing negative emotions. And how we can apply this concept to our own lives by identifying what we're attached to, where we stand in relation to it, and how we can use perspective to change our attachment. If you're struggling with attachment and the pain it can cause, this episode is a must-listen.
