The Neuroscience of Heartbreak

In episode 143, I continue with the theme of love for February but approach it from the opposite direction and share the Neuroscience of Heartbreak. Heartbreak is an intense emotional pain arising from the loss of a valuable relationship. In this episode I share Neuroimaging studies that indicate emotional pain recruits the same brain regions as physical pain. How scientists speculate that chronic pain disorders may actually arise from chronic emotional pain. I also talk about broken heart syndrome called takotsubo cardiomyopathy. I discuss some suggestions on how to reduce emotional pain using this neurobiological understanding. Tune in for all the details!
