The length and the intenseness of this stage is different for everyone because we each have different pre-existing attachment styles, temperaments and personalities. The amount of people that I've dated who have started seeing someone like two months after we've broken up and then like a year later have come crawling back is astounding. You can't undo a relationship with the click of your fingers. It's not going to be smooth sailing.
Breakups and heartache are a universal experience in our 20’s. But what exactly happens to our minds, our bodies and our emotions at the end of a relationship? This week we will break down the psychology and the science behind breakups, heartbreak and moving on. We will explore the theory of withdrawal, stages of grief, conditioning and the psychology behind why ‘no contact’ really does work to hopefully provide some solace to all the heartbroken out there on what exactly a breakup does to our psychology.
