What's Eating You Podcast with Psychologist Stephanie Georgiou

Breakups are one of the most psychologically stressful life events we can experience.Neuroimaging studies show that when we go through heartbreak, the same pain centers in the brain that respond to physical pain are activated, particularly the anterior cingulate cortex.That’s why it doesn’t just feel emotional, it literally hurts.Now, for someone with Borderline Personality Disorder that pain can feel magnified.BPD is characterized by emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and a fragile sense of self.
