As someone who has had her heart broken more than most (I know, I know, hard to believe!), and who has spent a lot of time solo feeling heartbroken, I have a theory about what happens to us when we’re going through heartbreak. I call it the “Bookend Theory of Heartache”.

I came up with this theory after noticing a pattern of what was happening to me as I was dealing with feeling unhappy in a relationship and then again while being single. It hit me that there’s a heartache cycle that I was moving through. The key to surviving the cycle requires us to see the pattern and then address it!

So in this video I share what the key is for dealing with heartbreak and finding your sweet spot of joy along the way.

Healing your heart after a breakup can feel impossible — especially if you’ve been cheated on. As someone who has had multiple heartbreaks due to past partners’ infidelity, I can say from experience that it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it’s your fault that you’ve been cheated on.

It makes sense that you’d feel that way. Cheating can seriously harm your self-esteem and leave you feeling broken, but there is a way to move on, improve your romantic relationships, and find the love you deeply desire. One person who has led me to this realization is Esther Perel, a globally renowned psychotherapist and relationship expert, whose work I strongly recommend checking out.

Esther, whose TED Talk on rethinking infidelity has been watched over ten million times, is my favorite source for romantic advice and wisdom. I’ve read both her books and I devour her articles, listen to her podcasts, and watch her videos. I can’t get enough!

One of the key things I’ve learned from Esther’s work — and one of the things that ultimately helped me heal from the heartbreak of infidelity — is that when my past partners cheated, it wasn’t about me being a bad person.

Watch this video to find out how I healed by reframing what I thought I knew about infidelity.
