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.

If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
How do you tell your friend he talks so much that other people don't want to be around him? And could there be underlying issues for his incessant jibber jabber?
Is resenting your spouse just one symptom of living a life that seems out of your control? What does it mean to be a victim, and how can you start regaining control?
It seems like you have most of the trappings of a fulfilling life -- so why are you too depressed to enjoy any of it? What's really missing from the equation?
Is it possible your significant other -- who takes you for granted, talks down to you, and doesn't appreciate or attempt to reciprocate the effort you put into the relationship -- is just a jerk?
Why did the person you're dating wait to tell you a few months into the relationship that she doesn't believe in monogamy?
What's the next step to take when a volatile and potentially suicidal loved one constantly cries out to you for help but never follows the advice you try to give them?

26: Getting Excited without Banking on the Outcome | Feedback Friday
Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are back to banter every week and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday on The Jordan Harbinger Show!
If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now, let's dive in!
On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
How do you maintain the momentum of your self-improvement milestones in the wake of a difficult breakup?
Do you need continuous novelty in your professional life?
In any industry, it's better to spend eight hours to miss the chance to work for a narcissist than eight months -- or eight years. But sometimes it's hard to spot them when the industry is entertainment.
How do you approach someone cold and build rapid trust with them when you're an INTJ who only knows how to flirt with disaster?
Is getting your hopes up just a recipe for disappointment, or should you embrace the motivation of excitement when it strikes?
How do you keep your feelings in check when you have an unrequited crush on a colleague who flirts with people who aren't you?
What's the best (and worst) way of asking for advice from us?
Recommendation of the Week: Scam City
