How To Affair Proof Your Relationship Guide

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!

Has this ever happen to you where all you were looking for is support from your spouse and all you got was a cold shoulder? Does that happen more often than not?

Many couples go through this vicious cycle we call the pursuer distancer dynamic. It is when one partner (the pursuer) attempts to make a connection with his or her partner and is turned away by not getting the response hoped for. As a result, the pursuer continues attempting by making more gestures towards their partner usually more focused in getting their attention. This usually ends up with the pursued partner withdrawing even more and becoming the distancer making them look like they don't care.

This vicious cycle leaves the pursuing partner feeling powerless and defeated, while the distancing partner feels upset and harassed.

In this Episode called 'What To Do When Your Partner Doesn't Care' relationship expert Idit Sharoni lays down strategies for you to avoid these situations and move away from feeling not heard to being listened to and cared for in your relationship.

Both hosts Idit Sharoni and Alina Gershonov make sure to get these strategies beyond just great advice. They make them easy to implement so you can start making the changes and feel heard in no time.
