About this listen

'Did you hear Amy has heartbreak?! What bad luck to catch it right at the end of winter.'

When Ziella Bryars was in the midst of heartbreak, a conversation with her neuroscientist best friend changed everything. Frustrated by unhelpful advice from magazines and rom-coms, Ziella began diving deep into the latest scientific research to help her understand the pain of heartbreak and find a route to recovery. This warm and witty self-help book outlines the impact a relationship break-up has on our brains and bodies, and explores how a science-based approach can help us heal. Ziella passes on what she learned about how a broken heart can affect everything from our sleep to our digestion; how rejection is represented in the brain in the same way as physical pain; how the brain processes loss; and how a break-up can trigger addiction-like withdrawal symptoms—plus tips for counteracting heartbreak and moving on to acceptance.

It’s great to find some scientific evidence for the hugely painful process of having a broken heart.

This is well written and narrated, and addresses the core problems of dealing with this very upsetting situation.

The listener is not left alone, but is embraced at every stage.

Thank you!

i wish i had read this months ago, it might have stopped me pursuing and also thinking myself abnormal. it was reassuring and confidence building, hearing about simple steps i can take to try to find myself some emotional safety and a bit of stability - that it is ok to distract myself i do not need to be processing 24/7. also a few new helpful techniques to stop me thinking about my wife and putting her on a pedestal (and why i need to stop doing that)
