When it comes to our mental health, the ending of a relationship and loss of a loved one can hugely impact our wellbeing.

Going through a breakup and experiencing strong emotional pain, and sometimes physical pain too, can leave us feeling vulnerable, deflated, stressed and lacking in motivation and energy. Especially when we can't seem to control our thoughts and feelings about that person, and keep replaying over and over again, all the memories and possible different case scenarios, as we try to come to terms with that person no longer being part of our life.

Experiencing feelings of sadness, low self-esteem, anxiety and loneliness is normal, and often comes with the territory when experiencing heartbreak. But it is important that we don’t slip into a space for too long where we isolate ourselves and become consumed by anxiety and depression, as the danger is this could trigger a mental health illness.

Adrienne Everheart is a certified dating and relationship coach, feminine energy therapist and author of the best-selling book, “500 Ways to Talk to a Man,” and the “ABCs to Get Him back” program. Adrienne has helped countless clients (mainly women), rebuild themselves after a break up and come to a place of acceptance and understanding that the relationship couldn't continue the way it was going.

Talking to host Gabby, Adrienne shares her thoughts on why after a breakup we often obsess over what could have been, rather than what actually was. Why the 'length of time' it takes someone to recover from their heartache is a personal journey, and how to communicate with well intentioned mutual friends, if the separation has affected your friendship circle.

Adrienne and Gabby discuss the science and correlation between depression, grief and breakups. Adrienne also explains why we need to embrace and learn from our past love/s and offers invaluable advice on how we can rebuild our life and self worth, so we can call forth the person we are meant to be with.
