Huberman the type of guy to describe a breakup as “devastating to a nervous system”.

[infamouscha]

“A breaking of emotional empathy.”
Ouch. So harsh, but so true.

[Elina_Strongbear]

I love how this is also a PowerPoint presentation.

I miss my dog. He has him. He was so human like and was literally like my baby. Such a huge dopamine source completely ripped away from me. It gets better tho

[sandralucasmelvoin]

Going thru the incredibly devastating break as I speak. I am healing at the same time, as I must.💔

[jestem]

POV: when kids move out to college feels like that too 😢

[jacobtacolla]

I compare it to detoxing off of opiates. It is so strange, but makes sense.

[purepotentialityNow]

Blessings Professor Thank You . Certainly an Evolution. Although Empathy still Stays😊😊😊

[fayekalantzis]

It becomes difficult when I think of losing family members or friends and I'm thinking if I should let them know I value them in my life even if they can piss me off 😍

[mdostay]

It's also removing a major source of stress

[christiemoline]

I find it helpful 2 mourn a break up. Get it out and get over it. Harsh? Or simple

[noorayyyzeenayyy]

Which of Andrew's podcasts did you take this clip from?

[keelyevans]

❤🎉❤ yeah I kept thinking how much we could have everybody on a better psychological plane with knowing where you were going to have everything. So you didn't have that availability for the codependency thing to pop up because you knew when you went outside to clean up whatever part of the earth or investigate whatever part of the earth or research in whatever manner that your campsite was right. There secure with everything heirlooms staff and all

[scottmcmaster]

Well that's a horribly dehumanizing way of thinking about it. I think there is a lot more going on for people who actually achieve unconditional companionate love. From my personal experience the cognitive aspect plays a very large role. I am willing to ensure immense unhappiness if required for my wife and our child. They are not mere means of deriving happiness, they are not merely dopamine sources. Love in a true sense isn't about making yourself feel better, it's about making them feel better and making sure they are safe and provided for in the ways that matter. True love is an act of sacrifice.

[throwinsomeds]

Yeah thats being attatched unfortunetly lol
