Episode 009: Why Getting Over a Breakup Can Feel Like Drug Withdrawal


Listen Later

If you've recently gone through a breakup, then you may find relief in knowing that you are not the only one who feels like you're withdrawing from a drug. 

Believe it or not, the deep pain experienced after a split actually triggers the same part of the brain that is stimulated during drug addiction, according to a recent study at Stony Brook University. This makes sense, love is one of the most powerful addictions; if it's lost then the body enters a period of withdrawal. 

In this episode called Why Getting Over a Breakup Can Feel Like Drug Withdrawal, Breakup Specialist Alina Gershonov and Relationship Expert Idit Sharoni explain what the physical process entails once the body's stress hormones have been released. 

In addition, the #1 tip for survival is shared to help you through this withdrawal period. You don't want to miss it!
