Anger is a completely normal reaction to extreme emotional discomfort. It often flows out of us a lot easier than sadness because it's a fairly uncomplicated emotion. Anger tends to be the first thing we actually feel when we start releasing all those pentup emotions associated with a breakup. If you're someone who has been broken up with or you're going through a breakup in the last 12 months, see if you can identify yourself in any of these stages.
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.
