Understanding the biology around your breakup

<p>Breakup blues are the worst.</p>

<p>We’ve all had ‘that’ horrible breakup. You know the one which literally puts your life on standstill? Even the seemingly strongest of women can be floored by a lost love.</p>

<p>How you heal, learn and ultimately move-in is incredibly important. But, of course, that is easier than it sounds.</p>

<p>Here I chat to my official Beanstalk Relationship Advisor and Beyond Blue speaker, Leah Sheppherd from <a href="https://www.honouryourbreakup.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Honour Your Breakup</a> about what’s happening within our bodies during this difficult time. For if you can understand WHY you feel the way you do, you have more control over the healing process.</p>

<p>In this fascinating podcast we discuss the ‘three stages of love’ and the affect they have on your brain; the changes within your body and how the chemicals in your body put you in ‘survival mode’ when the breakup happens; actions to speed up the healing of your heart; and why time is not necessarily a healer (but other things are). Finally, Leah shares her absolute top tips to stop hurting and start healing today.</p>
