What you can expect in this book

Sadness, loneliness, sleepless nights and the probably omnipresent question of why - it's no secret: heartbreak hurts. Are you currently going through such a phase in your life and do you have the feeling that you can no longer see any real way out? Then you have already taken the first step in the right direction by buying this guide. And I can guarantee you one thing in advance: You are not alone, even if you are overcome by feelings of severe helplessness and loneliness.

With this guide, you will be able to bring clarity to your emotional world, as you will not only be given practical tips on how to overcome the pain, but will also be given an understanding of lovesickness in its entirety, including theoretical approaches. First of all, we will focus on these, presenting you with statistics and various theoretical facts as a basis for understanding lovesickness. Furthermore, psychological explanations will also play a role, informing you not only about the effects of emotional pain on the body, but also on the psyche. Things get a little more specific when it comes to the personality-dependent perception of heartbreak based on the different attachment types, whereby the differences in dealing with the pain are also highlighted here.

Of course, after such an extensive theoretical description, which should not be neglected as it makes a major contribution to understanding your emotional state, you should also be given practical tips on how to take concrete steps towards recovery. In the course of this, you will also learn how you can mitigate or even prevent the physical side effects and what you can ultimately take away from this phase of your life.

This was necessary to ensure the maintenance of the family and reproduction. In the course of this, their cohesion was strengthened by an emotional bond, which should also have a positive effect on the offspring.

Research & Statistics

First of all, I would like to make it clear to you that you are by no means alone with your concerns and that there are well-founded results from research.

According to an online survey on the topic of When was the last time you were heartbroken? from 2018, in which 4452 singles in Germany aged between 18 and 69 were surveyed, it can be seen that 13% were suffering from heartbreak at the time of the survey and a further 19% had experienced it in the past six months. This means that 5.3 million people in Germany have shared their grief
