66: Guy Winch | How to Fix a Broken Heart

Guy Winch (@GuyWinch) is a licensed psychologist, leading advocate for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives, workplaces, and education systems, and author of How to Fix a Broken Heart.

What We Discuss with Guy Winch:

• While our physical body works overtime to heal itself when injured, our mind counterintuitively works against healing the wounds of emotional trauma • . Guy explains why this happens and why it's imperative to intervene.

• The insidious lengths to which the mind will go to keep us perpetually experiencing pain • and how we can take back control from our default autopilot.

• We can't passively count on time to heal all wounds. • We need to take a more active role in our recovery from an emotional wound.

• If you shame someone who is coping with the death of a pet or otherwise lack the ability to empathize with their pain • , you might be kind of a monster.

• Getting comfortable asking for help when we're recovering from emotional trauma • helps others understand that it's okay for them to ask for help as well.
