Chapter 1 from 11 Lessons from Psychology on Heartbreak
Heartbreak is a form of grief, and like any loss, it follows an unpredictable emotional cycle. In Chapter 1, we explore the Kübler-Ross model, which explains the five stages of grief, and the Dual Process Model, which shows how we naturally oscillate between feeling the pain and moving forward. Understanding these frameworks helps you see that healing isn’t linear—but every step, even the hard ones, is part of the process.
Chapter 2 from 11 Lessons from Psychology on Heartbreak
In Chapter 2, we explore why breakups feel so painful - not just emotionally, but biologically. By understanding the neuroscience of love and loss, we can approach healing with self-compassion and use science-backed strategies to rebuild emotional balance.
In our second, we learn about neuroscience of emotional craving, which highlights how to work with your brain - not against it - to heal and move forward.
Chapter 3 from 11 Lessons from Psychology on Heartbreak
In Chapter 3, we dive into the science of neuroplasticity - your brain’s ability to rewire itself after heartbreak. Love reshapes your neural pathways, and loss doesn’t simply erase them; it leaves circuits searching for what’s gone. But just as your brain once adapted to love, it can adapt to healing.
This chapter is about taking back control of that process - weakening the old pathways that keep you stuck and forging new ones that lead you to your better future.
