Title : Rebuilding after heartbreak: A structured ayurvedic approach
Abstract:
Emotional shock following relational rupture produces measurable dysregulation across the nervous, endocrine, and digestive systems. In clinical practice, heartbreak frequently presents not only as psychological distress but as insomnia, impaired digestion, hormonal disruption, and loss of vitality. A key aggravating factor is sustained cognitive and behavioral re-engagement with the stressor, which prolongs activation of physiological stress responses and delays recovery. This workshop presents a structured approach to post-breakup recovery grounded in Ayurvedic principles and informed by contemporary models of nervous system regulation. The framework identifies specific patterns of imbalance—primarily Vata aggravation and depletion of Ojas—and translates them into targeted, phase-based interventions.
Participants will learn how to:
- Recognize early signs of systemic dysregulation following emotional shock
- Map emotional states to physiological processes using an Ayurvedic framework
- Apply practical tools (daily routines, sensory regulation, digestive support, and attentional discipline) to stabilize the system and restore resilience
The session is implementation-focused. Attendees will leave with a structured protocol applicable in both personal and clinical contexts.
