A messy breakup can leave you devastated and disoriented. While the experience of splitting up with someone you love can make you feel isolated, it always helps to remind yourself that there are millions of people that are going through the same situation.

While is a multitude of theories and philosophies on overcoming a heartbreak, the truth is that there is no surefire way to heal instantly. However, it’s important to know that you will heal – and that the key to quelling the sorrows of your heart lies in your mind.

Your Mind Needs Time to Mend Your Broken Heart

If you’ve been left broken and depressed by a broken, the first thing you should do is consider the science behind it. You see, a heartbreak actually impacts your dopamine levels, which explains why you feel anxiety, stress, and a craving to see the person.

However, as your love dissolves, your dopamine levels decrease automatically – and so do your feelings of stress and anxiety. So ultimately, you need to give it time before you can start feeling like your normal self after a breakup. In the meanwhile, it can be helpful knowing that it’s the chemicals in your brain that are making you crave a person who’s actually bad for you.

Distract Your Mind

Distracting yourself is another thing that can make you feel better as you wait for your dopamine levels to rise. Just find something that you like, and busy yourself learning more about it. Indulging in novel activities activates new and different parts of the brain. Moreover, it’s a great chance to be creative or even meet new people.

Get to Know Yourself Better

The road to recovery from heartbreak forces you to look at the reasons you’re in pain and the reasons you love yourself. By giving you something to learn and grow from, it makes you stronger.

Consider Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a great option for people who’re struggling to think positively after a breakup. People who have suffered a heartbreak are often left feeling unloved and unwanted, which has a huge impact on their self-esteem. The primary benefit of hypnotherapy for heartbreak is that it builds and boosts the person’s self-esteem.

When your mind is in a state of hypnosis, it’s highly suggestible. The hypnotherapist will use this as an advantage and utilize positive suggestion to build up your self-esteem so that you recognize that your worth isn’t dependent on another individual. Examples of these positive examples can include your personal qualities, your achievements, and how much you’re loved by your family and friends.
