Bargaining comes from a feeling of helplessness and it gives us a perceived sense of control over the situation. If there was a reason that you broke up in the first place, there's a reason why you shouldn't get back together. And I think that's where we move on to the next stage, which is depression. During our experience of processing grief, there comes a time when all of our emotions begin to slow down.
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.
