The Paradoxical Thesis: Asserting that a universally painful experience is actually a 'gift' or positive event, creating immediate cognitive dissonance.

Transcript

It really is a beautiful gift to go through heartbreak, to be someone that is lucky enough to love another person and to be loved by another person no the point where it hurts when they're not there. That is a gift. That's not a struggle. From a neuroscience perspective, the reason breakups are so hard is that our brain perceives it like death. Breakups are a form of grief because there's a tie severed of someone who was there who's no longer there. It's important to be aware of I am grieving a loss and grief is a process and it is not linear. Whether you're religious or no, that verse is an incredible lesson. I'll just say it. Count it all joy my brothers when you face trials of many kinds because the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance run its course so that you may be complete and lacking nothing. That breakup teaches you something about yourself. It teaches you what you maybe wanna look for in the next partner and that you had in the other person or that you didn't have. It teaches you the ways that you weren't showing up for yourself. It is such a powerful experience and so we should count it all joy.
