サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In today's episode, we discuss the science of how our brain operates when we lose someone we are very close to, based on the book "The Grieving Brain" (The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss), by Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD. https://maryfrancesoconnor.org/book
We tend to believe that grief rests in our feelings and emotions but the truth is, our brain has a lot to do with our angst because of the processes it has developed through evolutionary needs. Our brain literally needs to re-learn how to live without the person we love so much.
In this episode, we are going through the first chapter, where we learn about virtual reality brain maps, why they exist, and how part of our grieving process is actually about learning how to rewire these brain maps and giving ourselves the time to do so.
