Healing from Heartbreak

It hurts in the chest. That is not a figure of speech: imaging shows romantic rejection lighting up the same brain regions as physical pain, and sustained cortisol explains why you stop sleeping, stop eating, and your whole body goes on alert.

Being physiology does not make it less real. It makes it treatable.

Ayurveda understood centuries ago that a breakup destabilises vata: the air that scatters, dries, and will not let your head stop. That is the insomnia, the weight loss, the thoughts circling at four in the morning. It is also why the protocol starts with the body long before it touches anything emotional.

This section has the whole process. The physiology of a breakup explains what is happening inside you. The Ayurvedic protocol is what I use in consultation. And She Chose Healing gathers the full method into a book.
