Hello QDT listeners,
We are thrilled to announce a new mini-series on the Relationship Doctor feed: The Beginning Of The End .The show follows three stories of heartbreak - the kind of heartbreak that upends a life - and puts words around a brand of grief we, as a culture, do not respect enough. Here's a little teaser from our host, Jessie Stephens:
I wrote my debut book, Heartsick, and started this podcast, because after my own heartbreaks, of which I’ve had many, I did not know where to turn. I didn’t want self-help or inspirational quotes or a half-hearted assurance that there’s plenty of fish in the sea. In those moments, I felt as though my future had been erased. A road that had seemed so sure, I had seen it so clearly, had suddenly turned into a cliff, and I think I was in shock. I didn’t know how I could possibly get through the afternoon. And then the night. And then tomorrow. The very essence of who I was had been rejected by someone I loved. There was the grief, of course. But there was also the self-loathing. The assault on the ego. A feeling of cataclysmic failure, and that my sense of things was not something I could trust. Since writing the book, I’ve been flooded with unbelievable accounts of heartbreak, the kind that make you gasp and feel sick and wonder how that person managed to pull themselves back together. Here, over three episodes, I will tell three stories of heartbreak. Because, it turns out, it is in those moments when we feel the most alone that we are our most connected. We can't wait for you to hear it. Subscribe here to listen to The Beginning of the End on Tuesday.
