在我们一生中的某个时刻，差不多每个人都经历过心碎。试想，要是我们集中更多精力于这个独特的心理创痛，事态的结果将会如何不同。心理学家盖伊·温奇（Guy Winch）向我们揭晓了如果要从心碎中痊愈，我们就必须开始下定决心跟我们崇拜以及寻找不存在的答案的本性搏斗。他也跟我们分享了一些点子，帮助我们最终忘怀感情，继续生活下去。我们的心有时也许破碎了，但我们不需要因心碎而崩溃。

凯蒂知道他将会向她求婚，

and she could barely
contain her excitement.

26

她几乎无法压抑她的兴奋感。
01:28
But Rich did not propose
to Kathy that night.

27

但是那天晚上瑞奇
并没向凯蒂求婚。

01:31
He broke up with her.
28

1202
他跟凯蒂分手了。
01:33
As deeply as he cared
for Kathy -- and he did --

尽管瑞奇非常关心凯蒂
——确实如此——

01:36
he simply wasn't in love.
30

但他就是没爱上凯蒂。
01:39
Kathy was shattered.

凯蒂心碎万分。
01:41
Her heart was truly broken,
and she now faced yet another recovery.

她的心彻底碎了，
现在她又要进行另一个治疗。

01:46
But five months after the breakup,
33

2556
但是分手之后过了五个月，
01:49
Kathy still couldn't stop
thinking about Rich.
thinking about Rich.
34
97539
3195
凯蒂还是无法停止
想起瑞奇。
想起瑞奇。
01:52
Her heart was still very much broken.
35
100758
2614
她的心仍然破碎不堪。
01:56
The question is:
36
104126
1177
问题是：
01:57
Why?
37
105786
1434
为什么？
01:59
Why was this incredibly strong
and determined woman
and determined woman
38
107244
4096
为什么这位异常坚强和
意志坚定的女人
意志坚定的女人
02:03
unable to marshal the same
emotional resources
emotional resources
39
111364
2908
无法重拾四年前帮助她
02:06
that got her through four years
of cancer treatments?
of cancer treatments?
40
114296
3419
挺过癌症治疗的心理状态？
02:10
Why do so many of us flounder
41
118619
2279
为什么我们那么多人
02:12
when we're trying
to recover from heartbreak?
to recover from heartbreak?
42
120922
2479
在尝试愈合心碎时挣扎不堪？
02:16
Why do the same coping mechanisms
43
124075
2005
为什么帮助我们应付
02:18
that get us through all kinds
of life challenges
of life challenges
44
126104
3124
许多人生挑战的作用机理
02:21
fail us so miserably
when our heart gets broken?
when our heart gets broken?
45
129252
3188
却在我们心碎时完全无效？
02:25
In over 20 years of private practice,
46
133886
2436
在超过20年的私人看诊经历中，
02:28
I have seen people
of every age and background
of every age and background
47
136346
2980
我见过来自各个年龄
以及背景的人
以及背景的人
02:31
face every manner of heartbreak,
48
139350
2625
面对每种类别的心碎，
02:33
and what I've learned is this:
49
141999
2072
而我从中学习到的是：
02:36
when your heart is broken,
50
144930
2450
当你心碎时，
02:39
the same instincts you ordinarily rely on
51
147404
2890
你平常所依赖的那些直觉
02:42
will time and again lead you
down the wrong path.
down the wrong path.
52
150318
4466
将一次又一次地
误导你步上歧途。
误导你步上歧途。
02:46
You simply cannot trust
what your mind is telling you.
what your mind is telling you.
53
154808
3615
你不能相信自己的直觉。
02:51
For example, we know from studies
of heartbroken people
of heartbroken people
54
159445
2880
举个例子，我们知道有关
心碎的人的研究显示，
心碎的人的研究显示，
02:54
that having a clear understanding
of why the relationship ended
of why the relationship ended
55
162349
3426
清楚了解关系终结的原因
02:57
is really important
for our ability to move on.
for our ability to move on.
56
165799
2810
对继续向前，不被感情所困
的能力非常重要。
的能力非常重要。
03:01
Yet time and again,
57
169390
1617
但是，一次又一次地，
03:03
when we are offered a simple
and honest explanation
and honest explanation
58
171031
3357
当别人告诉我们简单
以及真诚的解释时，
以及真诚的解释时，
03:06
like the one Rich offered Kathy,
59
174412
2312
如同瑞奇告诉凯蒂的，
03:08
we reject it.
60
176748
1158
我们会全盘拒绝。
03:10
Heartbreak creates
such dramatic emotional pain,
such dramatic emotional pain,
61
178780
3918
心碎制造出如此
戏剧化的感情伤痛，
戏剧化的感情伤痛，
03:14
our mind tells us the cause
must be equally dramatic.
must be equally dramatic.
62
182722
3568
以致我们的头脑告诉我们
其原因也肯定同样戏剧化。
其原因也肯定同样戏剧化。
03:18
And that gut instinct is so powerful,
63
186865
2456
而那直觉是如此强大，
03:21
it can make even the most reasonable
and measured of us
and measured of us
64
189345
3236
它可导致我们当中
最理性和最慎重的人
最理性和最慎重的人
03:24
come up with mysteries
and conspiracy theories
and conspiracy theories
65
192605
3399
想出完全不存在的神秘论和
03:28
where none exist.
66
196028
1187
阴谋论。
03:30
Kathy became convinced
something must have happened
something must have happened
67
198017
2774
凯蒂坚信她和瑞奇
一起度过的浪漫假期时
一起度过的浪漫假期时
03:32
during her romantic getaway with Rich
68
200815
2107
肯定发生了什么
03:34
that soured him on the relationship,
69
202946
1922
破坏他们俩感情的事儿，
03:36
and she became obsessed
with figuring out what that was.
with figuring out what that was.
70
204892
2978
导致她无法自拔地
猜想到底是什么事儿。
猜想到底是什么事儿。
03:40
And so she spent countless hours
71
208445
1889
就那样，她花了无数时间
03:42
going through every minute
of that weekend in her mind,
of that weekend in her mind,
72
210358
3527
在脑海里重新回顾
那个周末的每一分钟，
那个周末的每一分钟，
03:45
searching her memory for clues
that were not there.
that were not there.
73
213909
3148
尝试在她的记忆里寻找
不存在的线索。
不存在的线索。
03:50
Kathy's mind tricked her
into initiating this wild goose chase.
into initiating this wild goose chase.
74
218333
3902
凯蒂的思想哄骗她
开始这徒劳的搜索。
开始这徒劳的搜索。
03:54
But what compelled her to commit to it
for so many months?
for so many months?
75
222259
4352
但是又是什么迫使她花
无数个月的时间这么做呢？
无数个月的时间这么做呢？
03:59
Heartbreak is far more insidious
than we realize.
than we realize.
76
227729
3824
心碎比我们意识到的
更阴险狡诈。
更阴险狡诈。
04:03
There is a reason we keep going
down one rabbit hole after another,
down one rabbit hole after another,
77
231577
4449
让我们不断地重返一个
又一个的迷幻世界，
又一个的迷幻世界，
04:08
even when we know it's going
to make us feel worse.
to make us feel worse.
78
236050
2781
就算我们知道这么做只会
让我们觉得更糟，是有原因的。
让我们觉得更糟，是有原因的。
04:11
Brain studies have shown
79
239813
1629
大脑研究显示，
04:13
that the withdrawal of romantic love
80
241466
2493
失去浪漫的爱情
04:15
activates the same mechanisms
in our brain that get activated
in our brain that get activated
81
243983
3486
在我们大脑所引发的作用机理
跟上瘾者停止吸食如可卡因和
鸦片类毒品时是一样的。
鸦片类毒品时是一样的。
04:19
when addicts are withdrawing
from substances like cocaine or opioids.
from substances like cocaine or opioids.
82
247493
5037
04:25
Kathy was going through withdrawal.
83
253364
1971
凯蒂正经历着戒断期。
04:27
And since she could not have
the heroin of actually being with Rich,
the heroin of actually being with Rich,
84
255938
3790
既然她的生活中不能没有了
像海洛因一样的瑞奇，
像海洛因一样的瑞奇，
04:31
her unconscious mind chose
the methadone of her memories with him.
the methadone of her memories with him.
85
259752
4475
于是她的潜意识选择把他们在
在一起的回忆当做代替品。
在一起的回忆当做代替品。
04:37
Her instincts told her
she was trying to solve a mystery,
she was trying to solve a mystery,
86
265070
2918
她的直觉告诉她在
解开一个谜题，
解开一个谜题，
04:40
but what she was actually doing
87
268012
1930
但其实她正在做的
04:41
was getting her fix.
88
269966
1572
是满足她的“毒瘾”。
04:45
This is what makes heartbreak
so difficult to heal.
so difficult to heal.
89
273061
3473
这也就是心碎那么难痊愈的原因。
04:49
Addicts know they're addicted.
90
277417
2008
吸毒者知道他们上了瘾。
04:51
They know when they're shooting up.
91
279449
2110
他们知道他们正在注射毒品。
04:53
But heartbroken people do not.
92
281583
1897
但心碎的人则完全不知情。
04:56
But you do now.
93
284650
1173
不过现在你们知道了。
04:58
And if your heart is broken,
you cannot ignore that.
you cannot ignore that.
94
286587
3559
如果你的心碎了，
你不能坐视不理。
你不能坐视不理。
05:02
You have to recognize that,
as compelling as the urge is,
as compelling as the urge is,
95
290649
3817
你必须承认，
无论冲动是多么强大，
无论冲动是多么强大，
05:06
with every trip down memory lane,
every text you send,
every text you send,
96
294490
3411
每次重温记忆，
每发一条短信，
每发一条短信，
05:09
every second you spend
stalking your ex on social media,
stalking your ex on social media,
97
297925
3483
每秒你花在社交媒体上
跟踪你的旧爱，
跟踪你的旧爱，
05:13
you are just feeding your addiction,
98
301432
2140
你其实就在满足你的“毒瘾”，
05:15
deepening your emotional pain
99
303596
1790
加深你感情上的痛苦，
05:17
and complicating your recovery.
100
305410
1759
并使痊愈过程更复杂。
05:20
Getting over heartbreak is not a journey.
101
308907
2787
要愈合心碎并非一个旅程，
05:23
It's a fight, and your reason
is your strongest weapon.
is your strongest weapon.
102
311718
4168
而是个斗争，而你的理智
是你最强大的武器。
是你最强大的武器。
05:27
There is no breakup explanation
that's going to feel satisfying.
that's going to feel satisfying.
103
315910
3794
没有任何分手原因将
让你感到满足。
让你感到满足。
05:31
No rationale can take away
the pain you feel.
the pain you feel.
104
319728
2839
没有任何理论可以
带走你所感受的痛楚。
带走你所感受的痛楚。
05:34
So don't search for one,
don't wait for one,
don't wait for one,
105
322591
2660
所以不要再找原因了，
不要再等另一个理论了，
不要再等另一个理论了，
05:37
just accept the one you were offered
or make up one yourself
or make up one yourself
106
325275
3049
就接受你已知原因，
或自己捏造一个吧，
或自己捏造一个吧，
05:40
and then put the question to rest,
107
328348
1920
然后不再继续追究了，
05:42
because you need that closure
to resist the addiction.
to resist the addiction.
108
330292
3120
因为你需要的就是这个了结
来应付你的毒瘾。
来应付你的毒瘾。
05:46
And you need something else as well:
109
334857
2545
你也需要其它东西：
05:50
you have to be willing to let go,
110
338437
2396
你必须甘心放手，
05:53
to accept that it's over.
111
341629
1916
接受一切已经终结了的事实。
05:56
Otherwise, your mind
will feed on your hope
will feed on your hope
112
344281
2564
不然的话，你的潜意识
会继续给你奢望，
会继续给你奢望，
05:58
and set you back.
113
346869
1288
使你无法前进。
06:01
Hope can be incredibly destructive
when your heart is broken.
when your heart is broken.
114
349543
3960
当你心碎时，奢望可以
有灾难性的破坏力。
有灾难性的破坏力。
06:07
Heartbreak is a master manipulator.
115
355278
3003
心碎是个灵巧的操纵者。
06:10
The ease with which it gets our mind
to do the absolute opposite
to do the absolute opposite
116
358305
3653
对我们的头脑来说，
采取跟愈合心碎
采取跟愈合心碎
06:13
of what we need in order to recover
117
361982
2026
完全相反的步骤
06:16
is remarkable.
118
364032
1221
是相当容易的。
06:17
One of the most common tendencies
we have when our heart is broken
we have when our heart is broken
119
365908
3890
我们心碎时最常有的倾向之一
06:21
is to idealize the person who broke it.
120
369822
2197
是崇拜跟我们分手的人。
06:24
We spend hours remembering their smile,
121
372741
2931
我们花无数时间回想起他们的微笑、
06:27
how great they made us feel,
122
375696
2142
他们如何让我们感到愉快、
06:29
that time we hiked up the mountain
and made love under the stars.
and made love under the stars.
123
377862
4295
或者我们一起爬山时
在星光下亲吻的时候。
在星光下亲吻的时候。
06:34
All that does is make our loss
feel more painful.
feel more painful.
124
382909
3624
这些都会让我们为
损失感到更痛苦。
损失感到更痛苦。
06:38
We know that.
125
386937
1256
我们知道这一点。
06:40
Yet we still allow our mind to cycle
through one greatest hit after another,
through one greatest hit after another,
126
388217
4898
但我们仍不断地在脑袋里
重复那些难忘的经历，
重复那些难忘的经历，
06:45
like we were being held hostage by our own
passive-aggressive Spotify playlist.
passive-aggressive Spotify playlist.
127
393139
4598
如同我们被自己被动攻击型的
音乐播放表所劫持。
音乐播放表所劫持。
06:49
(Laughter)
128
397761
2356
（笑声）
06:54
Heartbreak will make those thoughts
pop into your mind.
pop into your mind.
129
402022
3050
心碎会让那些想法突然浮现在脑海中。
06:57
And so to avoid idealizing,
you have to balance them out
you have to balance them out
130

所以为了避免理想化他们的形象，
你必须平衡你的记忆片段，
你必须平衡你的记忆片段，
07:00
by remembering their frown,
not just their smile,
not just their smile,
131
408926
3113
想起他们的愁眉苦脸，
而不只是他们的笑容，
而不只是他们的笑容，
07:04
how bad they made you feel,
132
412426
2117
是他们让你感到糟糕，
07:06
the fact that after the lovemaking,
you got lost coming down the mountain,
you got lost coming down the mountain,
133
414567
3662
以及事实是，亲吻完后，
你们爬下山时迷路了，
你们爬下山时迷路了，
07:10
argued like crazy
and didn't speak for two days.
and didn't speak for two days.
134
418253
2719
然后因此而大吵一架，
两天没跟对方说话。
两天没跟对方说话。
07:14
What I tell my patients
is to compile an exhaustive list
is to compile an exhaustive list
135
422417
4231
我建议我的病人
写出一个详尽的列表，
写出一个详尽的列表，
07:18
of all the ways
the person was wrong for you,
the person was wrong for you,
136
426672
2397
说明那个人所做过
对不起你的事，
对不起你的事，
07:21
all the bad qualities, all the pet peeves,
137
429093
2488
所有的缺点，所有的怪毛病，
07:23
and then keep it on your phone.
138
431605
2368
然后存入你的手机内。
07:25
(Laughter)
139
433997
1043
（笑声）
07:27
And once you have your list,
140
435496
1655
一旦你有这个列表，
07:29
you have to use it.
141
437175
1245
就一定要使用它。
07:30
When I hear even a hint of idealizing
142
438970
2619
当我在疗程进行时听到病人
依然崇拜他们的旧爱，
依然崇拜他们的旧爱，
07:33
or the faintest whiff
of nostalgia in a session,
of nostalgia in a session,
143
441613
3093
或略微缅怀过去，
07:36
I go, "Phone, please."
144
444730
1984
我就说，“请拿出手机。”
07:38
(Laughter)
145
446738
1821
（笑声）
07:41
Your mind will try to tell you
they were perfect.
they were perfect.
146
449098
2518
你的头脑尝试告诉你
他们是完美的。
他们是完美的。
07:43
But they were not,
and neither was the relationship.
and neither was the relationship.
147
451640
2715
然而他们并非如此，
那段感情也并非如此。
那段感情也并非如此。
07:46
And if you want to get over them,
you have to remind yourself of that,
you have to remind yourself of that,
148
454379
3837
如果你要忘却他们，
你就必须提醒你自己那个事实，
你就必须提醒你自己那个事实，
07:50
frequently.
149
458240
1182
并时刻照做。
07:52
None of us is immune to heartbreak.
150
460361
2590
所有人都会心碎。
07:55
My patient Miguel was a 56-year-old

Five years after his wife died,

他的妻子去世五年后，
08:03
he finally felt ready
to start dating again.

153
471529
2629
他终于准备好开始一段新恋情。
08:06
He soon met Sharon,
154
474654
1238
他很快遇上了莎伦，
08:07
and a whirlwind romance ensued.
155
475916
2529
风驰电掣般的爱情随后发生。
08:10
They introduced each other
to their adult children after one month,

156
478469
3410
一个月后，他们向各自的
成年孩子介绍对方，

08:13
and they moved in together after two.
157
481903
2505
并在两个月后开始同居。
08:16
When middle-aged people date,
they don't mess around.
they don't mess around.
158
484865
2691
中年人谈恋爱，认真不随便。
08:20
It's like "Love, Actually"
meets "The Fast and the Furious."
meets "The Fast and the Furious."
159
488405
3273
情况就如电影《真爱至上》
遇上了《速度与激情》一样。
遇上了《速度与激情》一样。
08:23
(Laughter)
160
491702
1562
（笑声）
08:26
Miguel was happier
than he had been in years.
than he had been in years.
161
494495
2568
米格尔好几年
都没那么幸福过了。
都没那么幸福过了。
08:29
But the night before
their first anniversary,
their first anniversary,
162
497539
2754
但是他们第一个周年纪念日
的前一个晚上，
的前一个晚上，
08:32
Sharon left him.
163
500317
1323
莎伦离开了他。
08:34
She had decided to move to the West Coast
to be closer to her children,
to be closer to her children,
164
502169
3969
莎伦决定搬去美国西海岸
跟她的孩子住得近一点儿，

08:38
and she didn't want
a long-distance relationship.

165
506162

而她不想要谈异地恋爱。
08:41
Miguel was totally blindsided
and utterly devastated.
and utterly devastated.
166
509404
4763
米格尔对这个消息防不胜防，
并且感到极其悲痛。
并且感到极其悲痛。
08:46
He barely functioned at work
for many, many months,
for many, many months,
167
514660
2945
连续好几个月，他几乎
无法正常上班，
无法正常上班，
08:49
and he almost lost his job as a result.
168
517629
2496
他也因此而差一点儿丢了工作。
08:52
Another consequence of heartbreak
is that feeling alone and in pain
is that feeling alone and in pain
169
520804
3815
心碎的另一个后遗症是，
寂寞感和心痛
寂寞感和心痛
08:56
can significantly impair
our intellectual functioning,
our intellectual functioning,
170
524643
3055
可以大大地削弱我们
的智力功能，

08:59
especially when performing complex tasks
involving logic and reasoning.

171
527722

尤其是当我们进行牵涉逻辑
和推论思考的复杂任务，

09:04
It temporarily lowers our IQ.
172
532518
2312
心痛会暂时性地降低我们的智商。
09:08
But it wasn't just the intensity
of Miguel's grief
of Miguel's grief
173
536535
3207
但是使米格尔的雇主纳闷的
09:11
that confused his employers;
174
539766
1895
并非只是他的悲痛程度；
09:13
it was the duration.
175
541685
1460
而是悲痛持续的时间。
09:15
Miguel was confused by this as well
176
543986
2280
米格尔也被无法释怀这件事困扰着，
09:18
and really quite embarrassed by it.
177
546290
1756
并且为此而感到相当尴尬。
09:20
"What's wrong with me?"
he asked me in our session.
he asked me in our session.
178
548519
2597
“我到底怎么了？治疗期间
他问我这个问题。
他问我这个问题。
09:23
"What adult spends almost a year
getting over a one-year relationship?"
getting over a one-year relationship?"
179
551140
3962
“哪有成年人花将近一年时间
忘记一段一年长的感情呢？”
忘记一段一年长的感情呢？”
09:27
Actually, many do.
180
555804
2225
其实，很多成年人都这样。
09:31
Heartbreak shares all the hallmarks
of traditional loss and grief:

心碎的特征跟传统的
痛失亲友以及悲痛是一样的：

Heartbreak is a complex

185
573702
3330
心碎是个复杂的心理创伤。
09:49
It impacts us in a multitude of ways.
186
577056
2641
它在许多方面影响着我们。
09:52
For example, Sharon was both very social
187
580174
2699
举个例子，莎伦很爱好交际，
09:55
and very active.
188
583405
1382
也会经常出去参加社交活动。
09:56
She had dinners at the house every week.
189
584811
2590
她每个星期都在家里开设晚宴。
09:59
She and Miguel went on camping trips
with other couples.

190
587425
3019
她和米格尔跟其他情侣
一起去露营。

10:02
Although Miguel was not religious,
191
590468
1893
虽然米格尔不信奉任何宗教，
10:04
he accompanied Sharon
to church every Sunday,
to church every Sunday,
192
592385
2178
他每个星期日还是会
陪伴莎伦去上教堂，

10:06
where he was welcomed
into the congregation.
into the congregation.
193
594587
2287
教堂会众也热情地接待他。
10:09
Miguel didn't just lose his girlfriend;
194
597850
1941
米格尔不单单失去了他的女朋友；
10:12
he lost his entire social life,
195
600240
2761
他失去了他整个社交生活，
10:15
the supportive community
of Sharon's church.
of Sharon's church.
196
603025
2438
莎伦的教堂这个支持他的团体，
10:17
He lost his identity as a couple.
197
605487
2130
还失去了身为情侣的身份。
10:20
Now, Miguel recognized the breakup
had left this huge void in his life,
had left this huge void in his life,
198
608575
4146
米格尔意识到分手在他的
生活中留下了一个很大的空缺，
生活中留下了一个很大的空缺，
10:24
but what he failed to recognize
199
612745
2761
但是他没有意识到的是
10:27
is that it left far more than just one.
200
615530
2377
分手留下的空缺不只是一个。
10:30
And that is crucial,
201
618670
1310
那是至关重要的，
10:32
not just because it explains
why heartbreak could be so devastating,
why heartbreak could be so devastating,
202
620491
4985
因为那不只解释了为什么心碎
的伤害可以如此之大，
的伤害可以如此之大，
10:37
but because it tells us how to heal.
203
625500
2155
也告诉我们可以如何愈合。
10:40
To fix your broken heart,
204
628934
2145
要从心碎中走出来，
10:43
you have to identify these voids
in your life and fill them,
in your life and fill them,
205
631103
3859
你一定要辨识你生活中
这些空缺并填补它们，
这些空缺并填补它们，
10:46
and I mean all of them.
206
634986
1577
我说的是所有空缺。
10:48
The voids in your identity:
207
636587
1729
你身份上的空缺：
10:50
you have to reestablish who you are
and what your life is about.
and what your life is about.
208
638340
3648
你一定要重新建立你的身份
和你的生活目标。
和你的生活目标。
10:54
The voids in your social life,
209
642012
1712
你的社交生活上的空缺，
10:55
the missing activities,
even the empty spaces on the wall
even the empty spaces on the wall
210
643748
3076
不再做的活动，就连墙壁上那个
10:58
where pictures used to hang.
211
646848
1590
曾经挂着相片的空位。
11:01
But none of that will do any good
212
649339
1796
但让这一切见效的前提是，
11:03
unless you prevent the mistakes
that can set you back,
that can set you back,
213
651159
3247
你必须不再犯下让你
停滞不前的过错，
停滞不前的过错，
11:06
the unnecessary searches for explanations,
214
654430
2976
不再不必要地去寻找解释，
11:09
idealizing your ex instead of focusing
on how they were wrong for you,
on how they were wrong for you,
215
657430
4207
不再崇拜你的前情侣，
而是要集中于他们怎么对不起你，
而是要集中于他们怎么对不起你，
11:13
indulging thoughts and behaviors
that still give them a starring role
that still give them a starring role
216
661661
3821
在这个新的生活篇章中
不再把他们捧为明星
不再把他们捧为明星
11:17
in this next chapter of your life
217
665506
1611
并沉迷于这种思想和行为，
11:19
when they shouldn't be an extra.
218
667141
1542
事实是他们连路人甲都不配做。
11:22
Getting over heartbreak is hard,
219
670548
2319
让破碎的心愈合是非常痛苦的事，
11:24
but if you refuse to be misled
by your mind and you take steps to heal,
by your mind and you take steps to heal,
220
672891
4464
但是如果你拒绝让你的头脑
误导你，并主动采取愈合的行动，
误导你，并主动采取愈合的行动，
11:29
you can significantly minimize
your suffering.
your suffering.
221
677379
2675
你可以最大限度地降低痛苦。
11:32
And it won't just be you
who benefit from that.
who benefit from that.
222
680078
2420
你将不会是唯一一个获利的人。
11:34
You'll be more present with your friends,
223
682522
2055
你将会花更多时间在你朋友身边，
11:36
more engaged with your family,
224
684601
2214
花更多时间跟你的家人在一起，
11:39
not to mention the billions of dollars
of compromised productivity
of compromised productivity
225
687236
3803
更别谈上亿万美元可避免的
11:43
in the workplace that could be avoided.
226
691063
2093
工作生产力上的损失。
11:46
So if you know someone who is heartbroken,
227
694451
2290
如果你知道有谁心碎了，
11:49
have compassion,
228
697273
1559
要心怀同情，
11:50
because social support has been found
to be important for their recovery.
to be important for their recovery.
229
698856
3750
因为社会的支持被证实
对他们的复原非常重要。
对他们的复原非常重要。
11:55
And have patience,
230
703293
1258
要有耐心，
11:57
because it's going to take them longer
to move on than you think it should.
to move on than you think it should.
231
705082
3730
因为他们放下感情所需的时间
会比你想象中的更长。
会比你想象中的更长。
12:01
And if you're hurting,
232
709646
1228
还有如果是你的心在痛，
12:03
know this:
233
711732
1183
要知道：
12:05
it's difficult, it is a battle
within your own mind,
within your own mind,
234
713335
3090
要赢得这个在你脑海中的搏斗很难，
12:08
and you have to be diligent to win.
235
716449
2200
你必须努力才可以赢得这场斗争。
12:10
But you do have weapons.
236
718673
1805
但是你不是手无寸铁的。
12:12
You can fight.
237
720502
1270
你可以战胜它。
12:14
And you will heal.
238
722200
1656
你将会痊愈。
12:16
Thank you.
239
724631
1189
谢谢。
