69. Guy Winch: How to Heal from a Heartbreak
from HYDRATE with Tracy Duhs · host Tracy Duhs
Do you know that loneliness kills more people than smoking and obesity? In this episode of HYDRATE, Psychologist Guy Winch takes us deeper into the power of emotional intelligence and why it's intertwined with our physical health. We discuss how to deal with romantic rejection, when loneliness becomes a health risk, and how to raise emotionally intelligent kids. We're evolutionarily wired to survive and procreate, not to seek happiness. So, it takes great effort to establish deep human connections and be vulnerable, but it can be learned! Guy and I share tips on how to rekindle our relationship (romantic or not) with someone, when to end it, and how to heal from its ending. Take note: you can't fix a relationship by yourself. I know that to be true after trying to save a 13-year marriage on my own. How do we survive a heartbreak without losing our self-worth?
