The new psychological technique that aims to 鈥榗ure鈥� heartbreak
5 July 2019
It’s sad, but it’s true: heartbreak is something that most of us will have to deal with at some point in our lives.
Mornings with Kaye Adams heard about a new technique, developed by Canadian psychologist Alain Brunet, that aims to ‘cure’ heartbreak by using a mix of medical treatment and therapy to reduce PTSD after ‘romantic betrayal’.
Have psychologists found a way to mend a broken heart?
Kaye speaks to Dr Jennifer Wild about a new technique from Canada.
It stands to reason that, even if the techniques developed by Alain Brunet show good results, heartbreak is never going to be eradicated from people’s lives completely.
Zara Gladman from The Social took a light-hearted look at some of the science behind heartbreak and things you can do to help reduce its effects.
But will singing ballads by the likes of Celine Dion or Mariah Carey really help cure a broken heart?
