The Hidden Science of Heartbreak: What Your Brain Really Goes Through After Love Ends

Have you ever wondered why a breakup feels like physical pain?
Why you can’t stop thinking about your ex, even when you know it’s over?

You’re not weak. You’re not obsessed. You’re experiencing breakup pain, and your brain is fighting a biological war.

When love ends, the very chemistry that made you feel safe, connected, and euphoric goes into withdrawal — just like someone coming off a drug.

Understanding this science isn’t just interesting — it’s essential to healing.
Because once you see what’s happening in your brain, you stop blaming your heart.
