The break-up Survival Guide: How to deal with, and emerge stronger from, a

Humans are wired for connection so a breakup feels like being abandoned, which the nervous system interprets as a threat to survival. Breakups are profoundly difficult for both men and women because they trigger intense emotional pain equivalent to addiction withdrawal, while simultaneously threatening our basic need for social attachment. They force a sudden, traumatic loss of routine, identity, and future plans, creating grief, doubt and uncertainty. The loss of the person who provided security and comfort leaves a void in daily life, often creating a deep sense of loneliness and failure. Breakups are a form of loss, triggering the same stages of grief as death, including denial, anger, and depression. Written by a qualified counsellor, this book goes through these stages, offering advice for readers of all genders on how to manage each. In addition, and most importantly, this book helps the reader navigate beyond the break-up so the event becomes something that can be learned from, enabling increased confidence and stronger foundations for future relationships.
