Dr Guy Winch: How To Fix A Broken Heart

A Higher Branch

We have all experienced heartache in our lives, but how it feels and how we react to it is different for each of us. But one thing that is common, is that the loss of love can devour us, and the heartbreak can be all-consuming.

On today's episode of A Higher Branch, founder and host Sam Makhoul is joined yet again by world-renowned psychologist, author and TED speaker Dr Guy Winch to unpack the truths surrounding heartbreak. Dr Guy Winch has two published books surrounding the topics of practising emotional first aid and today tackles Sam's questions about the impact heartbreak has on us as individuals.

During this interview, Dr Guy Winch provides you with the tools and techniques on how to begin the healing process, while also sharing his insight into:

• Why we act out when going through a breakup
• The difference between loving someone and being IN LOVE with someone
• Why reinvesting in yourself is important; and
