Stubborn Love

Move on From Your Ex With Accelerated Resolutions After Breakups | With Dr. Elizabeth Michas, PhD


Listen Later

Accelerated Resolutions for Heartbreak uses brain-based procedures that involve imagined exposure, image replacement, somatic focus, eye movements, and hypnosis—memory reconsolidation steps to change how the brain stores an emotional memory.


Key takeaways from the episode:

  • Romantic breakups activate systems of the brain involved in feeling emotional distress and increase information processing of thoughts, images, and memory.

  • Explore what post-romantic distress is and how Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can relieve it.

  • Dispel grief and heartbreak myths like “it takes a long time and you never get over the loss.”

  • Dr. Elizabeth Michas is a licensed clinical psychologist who has helped thousands of people recover from abusive relationships and heartbreak by transforming their emotional pain and trauma with brain-based perspectives and interventional methods to play the brain for change. 

    She is an expert in the neuropsychology of change, brain-based hypnotherapy, and eye-movement reprocessing processes for the rapid resolution of post-romantic distress, anxiety, trauma, love addiction, grief, and heartbreak.


    Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

    [04:00] "But with a therapist, they're like stabilizing the problem, validating them and people were getting more stuck and sometimes dropping out of therapy and saying therapy isn't working for me. You know, “I'm just more obsessed with my ex. I'm not getting over it. I don't want to date.” And so these newer technologies, like using eye movement reprocessing and also hypnosis were doing something different when it came to the brain processing and responding and memory."

    [27:00] "So you're not choosing to be a negative thinker or have a negativity bias. It's a feature of how your brain operates, you're just getting played by it."
