幾乎每個人在人生中的某個時點，都會遇到心碎的狀況。想像一下，如果我們能更留意這種獨特的情緒痛苦，一切會多麼不同。心理學家蓋溫奇揭露，我們的直覺是要去理想化對方以及尋找不存在的答案，而心碎的復元始於和這些直覺對戰的決心。他也提供一套方法，讓我們最終能走下去。我們的心有時會碎，但我們不用跟著倒下。

會是在二十七歲時，

She went through many months

她經歷了很多個月的辛苦化療，
00:41
and painful surgeries,
10

以及痛苦的手術，
00:43
and then just as she was ready
to jump back into the dating world,

接著，就在她準備要

她在另一邊的胸部發現了腫塊，
00:50
and had to do it all over again.

1742
整個過程都得再重來一次。
00:53
Kathy recovered, though,
14
41225
1209
不過，凱西恢復了，
00:54
and she was eager to resume
her search for a husband

15
42458
2935
她很熱切地想繼續尋找她的老公，
00:57
as soon as her eyebrows grew back in.

45417
2415
她打算等眉毛長回來就馬上行動。

01:02
you need to be able to express
a wide range of emotions.
a wide range of emotions.
18
50949
2987
你得要能夠表現出很多種情緒。
01:05

01:07
Soon afterwards,
she met Rich and fell in love.

The relationship was everything

01:14
Six months later,
22
62614
1264
六個月之後，
01:15
after a lovely weekend in New England,
23
63902
2475
在新英格蘭度過了
一個美好的週末之後，
一個美好的週末之後，
01:18
Rich made reservations
at their favorite romantic restaurant.
at their favorite romantic restaurant.
24
66401
3542
雷奇訂了他們最喜歡的浪漫餐廳。
01:22
Kathy knew he was going to propose,
25
70877
1926
凱西知道他要求婚了，
01:24
and she could barely
contain her excitement.
contain her excitement.
26
72827
3023
她興奮難耐。
01:28
But Rich did not propose
to Kathy that night.
to Kathy that night.
27
76701
2610
但那晚，雷奇並沒有向凱西求婚。
01:31
He broke up with her.
28
79766
1202
他和她分手了。
01:33
As deeply as he cared
for Kathy -- and he did --
for Kathy -- and he did --
29
81639
2641
儘管他對凱西的關心很深
──他真的關心過──
──他真的關心過──
01:36
he simply wasn't in love.
30
84820
1511
但他就是沒有愛上她。
01:39
Kathy was shattered.
31
87465
1944
凱西很震驚。
01:41
Her heart was truly broken,
and she now faced yet another recovery.
and she now faced yet another recovery.
32
89433
4843
她的心真的碎了，
她現在又要面臨一次復原。
她現在又要面臨一次復原。
01:46
But five months after the breakup,
33
94959
2556
但在分手後五個月，
01:49
Kathy still couldn't stop
thinking about Rich.
thinking about Rich.
34
97539
3195
凱西仍然無法不去想雷奇。
01:52
Her heart was still very much broken.
35
100758
2614
她的心仍然支離破碎。
01:56
The question is:
36
104126
1177
問題是：
01:57
Why?
37
105786
1434
為什麼？
01:59
Why was this incredibly strong
and determined woman
and determined woman
38
107244
4096
為什麼這個極度堅強且堅定的女性，
02:03
unable to marshal the same
emotional resources
emotional resources
39
111364
2908
沒有辦法去整理這些和她
02:06
that got her through four years
of cancer treatments?
of cancer treatments?
40
114296
3419
四年癌症治療同樣的情緒來源？
02:10
Why do so many of us flounder
41
118619
2279
為什麼有這麼多人
02:12
when we're trying
to recover from heartbreak?
to recover from heartbreak?
42
120922
2479
試著從心碎中復原時，都那麼掙扎？
02:16
Why do the same coping mechanisms
43
124075
2005
為什麼明明這些處理機制
02:18
that get us through all kinds
of life challenges
of life challenges
44
126104
3124
能幫我們走過各種人生中的困難，
02:21
fail us so miserably
when our heart gets broken?
when our heart gets broken?
45
129252
3188
卻在我們的心碎時刻，
完全派不上用場？
完全派不上用場？
02:25
In over 20 years of private practice,
46
133886
2436
我私人執業的時間超過二十年，
02:28
I have seen people
of every age and background
of every age and background
47
136346
2980
我見過各種年齡層、各種背景的人
02:31
face every manner of heartbreak,
48
139350
2625
面臨各種心碎，
02:33
and what I've learned is this:
49
141999
2072
而我所學到的是：
02:36
when your heart is broken,
50
144930
2450
當你的心碎了，
02:39
the same instincts you ordinarily rely on
51
147404
2890
你平常所仰賴的那些直覺
02:42
will time and again lead you
down the wrong path.
down the wrong path.
52
150318
4466
會一而再，再而三地
引導你走向錯誤的路。
引導你走向錯誤的路。
02:46
You simply cannot trust
what your mind is telling you.
what your mind is telling you.
53
154808
3615
你就是不能相信你的大腦告訴你的。
02:51
For example, we know from studies
of heartbroken people
of heartbroken people
54
159445
2880
比如，我們從關於
心碎的人的研究得知，
心碎的人的研究得知，
02:54
that having a clear understanding
of why the relationship ended
of why the relationship ended
55
162349
3426
清楚了解為什麼感情關係會結束
02:57
is really important
for our ability to move on.
for our ability to move on.
56
165799
2810
對於我們能否繼續
走下去是很重要的。
走下去是很重要的。
03:01
Yet time and again,
57
169390
1617
但，一而再，再而三，
03:03
when we are offered a simple
and honest explanation
and honest explanation
58
171031
3357
我們得到的是一個
簡單且誠實的解釋，
簡單且誠實的解釋，
03:06
like the one Rich offered Kathy,
59
174412
2312
就像雷奇給凱西的解釋，
03:08
we reject it.
60
176748
1158
而我們不願接受。
03:10
Heartbreak creates
such dramatic emotional pain,
such dramatic emotional pain,
61
178780
3918
心碎會造成非常戲劇性的痛苦，
03:14
our mind tells us the cause
must be equally dramatic.
must be equally dramatic.
62
182722
3568
我們的大腦告訴我們，
它的成因一定也是同等戲劇性的。
它的成因一定也是同等戲劇性的。
03:18
And that gut instinct is so powerful,
63
186865
2456
那種直覺十分強大，
03:21
it can make even the most reasonable
and measured of us
and measured of us
64
189345
3236
甚至會讓最理性、最慎重的人，
03:24
come up with mysteries
and conspiracy theories
and conspiracy theories
65
192605
3399
都會想出些根本不存在的謎團
03:28
where none exist.
66
196028
1187
和陰謀論。
03:30
Kathy became convinced
something must have happened
something must have happened
67
198017
2774
凱西深信，在她和雷奇
浪漫之旅的過程中
浪漫之旅的過程中
03:32
during her romantic getaway with Rich
68
200815
2107
一定發生了什麼事，
03:34
that soured him on the relationship,
69
202946
1922
導致他對這段感情感到不快，
03:36
and she became obsessed
with figuring out what that was.
with figuring out what that was.
70
204892
2978
而她變得執著在要想出原因是什麼。
03:40
And so she spent countless hours
71
208445
1889
於是，她花了無數小時，
03:42
going through every minute
of that weekend in her mind,
of that weekend in her mind,
72
210358
3527
在腦中回想那個週末的每一分鐘，
03:45
searching her memory for clues
that were not there.
that were not there.
73
213909
3148
在記憶中尋找根本不存在的線索。
03:50
Kathy's mind tricked her
into initiating this wild goose chase.
into initiating this wild goose chase.
74
218333
3902
凱西的大腦騙了她，
讓她開始了這場徒勞的追尋。
讓她開始了這場徒勞的追尋。
03:54
But what compelled her to commit to it
for so many months?
for so many months?
75
222259
4352
但，是什麼強迫她投入
這麼多個月的時間？
這麼多個月的時間？
03:59
Heartbreak is far more insidious
than we realize.
than we realize.
76
227729
3824
心碎比我們知道的
還要更會在暗中滋生。
還要更會在暗中滋生。
04:03
There is a reason we keep going
down one rabbit hole after another,
down one rabbit hole after another,
77
231577
4449
這就是我們會重蹈覆徹的原因，
04:08
even when we know it's going
to make us feel worse.
to make us feel worse.
78
236050
2781
即使我們知道這麼做
會讓我們感覺更糟糕。
會讓我們感覺更糟糕。
04:11
Brain studies have shown
79
239813
1629
關於大腦的研究指出，
04:13
that the withdrawal of romantic love
80
241466
2493
脫離一段愛情
04:15
activates the same mechanisms
in our brain that get activated
in our brain that get activated
81
243983
3486
會啟動的大腦機制，
04:19
when addicts are withdrawing
from substances like cocaine or opioids.
from substances like cocaine or opioids.
82
247493
5037
和成癮者要脫離古柯鹼
或鴉片這類物質時是一樣的。
或鴉片這類物質時是一樣的。
04:25
Kathy was going through withdrawal.
83
253364
1971
凱西在經歷的就是脫離。
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
她的海洛因就是
和雷奇在一起，但她得不到，
和雷奇在一起，但她得不到，
04:31
her unconscious mind chose
the methadone of her memories with him.
the methadone of her memories with him.
85
259752
4475
她無意識的大腦選擇用
她和他的記憶當作止痛藥，
她和他的記憶當作止痛藥，
04:37
Her instincts told her
she was trying to solve a mystery,
she was trying to solve a mystery,
86
265070
2918
她的直覺告訴她，
她是在試著解一個謎團，
她是在試著解一個謎團，
04:40
but what she was actually doing
87
268012
1930
但她真正在做的事，
04:41
was getting her fix.
88
269966
1572
是給自己注射毒品。
04:45
This is what makes heartbreak
so difficult to heal.
so difficult to heal.
89
273061
3473
就是這樣，讓心碎很難治癒。
04:49
Addicts know they're addicted.
90
277417
2008
成癮者知道自己有癮。
04:51
They know when they're shooting up.
91
279449
2110
他們在注射毒品時是有自覺的。
04:53
But heartbroken people do not.
92
281583
1897
但心碎的人沒有。
04:56
But you do now.
93
284650
1173
但你現在知道了。
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，你不能忽略它。
05:02
You have to recognize that,
as compelling as the urge is,
as compelling as the urge is,
95
290649
3817
儘管衝動很難抗拒，你仍必須了解，
05:06
with every trip down memory lane,
every text you send,
every text you send,
96
294490
3411
你每一次的回想，
你發出的每一則訊息，
你發出的每一則訊息，
05:09
every second you spend
stalking your ex on social media,
stalking your ex on social media,
97
297925
3483
你花在社交媒體上追蹤
前任情人的每一秒鐘，
前任情人的每一秒鐘，
05:13
you are just feeding your addiction,
98
301432
2140
你都只是在滿足你的癮，
05:15
deepening your emotional pain
99
303596
1790
加深你情緒上的痛苦，
05:17
and complicating your recovery.
100
305410
1759
讓你的復原變得更複雜。
05:20
Getting over heartbreak is not a journey.
101
308907
2787
度過心碎並不是一趟旅程。
05:23
It's a fight, and your reason
is your strongest weapon.
is your strongest weapon.
102
311718
4168
它是場戰鬥，而你的理智
是你最強的武器。
是你最強的武器。
05:27
There is no breakup explanation
that's going to feel satisfying.
that's going to feel satisfying.
103
315910
3794
沒有任何分手解釋會讓人感到滿意。
05:31
No rationale can take away
the pain you feel.
the pain you feel.
104
319728
2839
沒有邏輯理由能帶走
你所感受到的痛苦。
你所感受到的痛苦。
05:34
So don't search for one,
don't wait for one,
don't wait for one,
105
322591
2660
所以不用去找理由了，
不要再等理由了，
不要再等理由了，
05:37
just accept the one you were offered
or make up one yourself
or make up one yourself
106
325275
3049
就接受你得到的理由吧，
不然就自己編一個，
不然就自己編一個，
05:40
and then put the question to rest,
107
328348
1920
然後就讓這個問題安息，
05:42
because you need that closure
to resist the addiction.
to resist the addiction.
108
330292
3120
因為你需要那個結束，
來對抗你的癮。
來對抗你的癮。
05:46
And you need something else as well:
109
334857
2545
你還需要別的：
05:50
you have to be willing to let go,
110
338437
2396
你得要願意放手，
05:53
to accept that it's over.
111
341629
1916
接受感情已經結束。
05:56
Otherwise, your mind
will feed on your hope
will feed on your hope
112
344281
2564
不然，你的大腦會再給你希望，
05:58
and set you back.
113
346869
1288
讓你無法前進。
06:01
Hope can be incredibly destructive
when your heart is broken.
when your heart is broken.
114
349543
3960
當你心碎時，希望
是非常有毀滅性的。
是非常有毀滅性的。
06:07
Heartbreak is a master manipulator.
115
355278
3003
心碎，是操弄大師。
06:10
The ease with which it gets our mind
to do the absolute opposite
to do the absolute opposite
116
358305
3653
它利用舒適當手段，
讓我們的大腦去做的事，
讓我們的大腦去做的事，
06:13
of what we need in order to recover
117
361982
2026
和復原所需要的完全相反，
06:16
is remarkable.
118
364032
1221
這手段很強大。
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
當我們心碎時，最常見的傾向之一，
06:21
is to idealize the person who broke it.
120
369822
2197
就是會理想化那個讓我們心碎的人。
06:24
We spend hours remembering their smile,
121
372741
2931
我們花數小時的時間
去回想他們的笑容、
去回想他們的笑容、
06:27
how great they made us feel,
122
375696
2142
那笑容帶給我們的感覺有多棒，
06:29
that time we hiked up the mountain
and made love under the stars.
and made love under the stars.
123
377862
4295
及我們爬上山在星空下做愛的時光。
06:34
All that does is make our loss
feel more painful.
feel more painful.
124
382909
3624
這唯一的效果，就是
讓我們的失去變得更痛苦。
讓我們的失去變得更痛苦。
06:38
We know that.
125
386937
1256
我們知道這一點。
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
但我們仍然允許我們的大腦
陷在這不斷重擊的循環中，
陷在這不斷重擊的循環中，
06:45
like we were being held hostage by our own
passive-aggressive Spotify playlist.
passive-aggressive Spotify playlist.
127
393139
4598
彷彿我們被自己被動攻擊的
Spotify 音樂播放清單給挾持當人質了。
Spotify 音樂播放清單給挾持當人質了。
06:49
(Laughter)
128
397761
2356
（笑聲）
06:54
Heartbreak will make those thoughts
pop into your mind.
pop into your mind.
129
402022
3050
心碎會讓那些念頭出現在你腦中。
06:57
And so to avoid idealizing,
you have to balance them out
you have to balance them out
130
405096
3806
為了避免理想化，
你得要將它們平衡掉，
你得要將它們平衡掉，
07:00
by remembering their frown,
not just their smile,
not just their smile,
131
408926

做法就是回想起他們的
皺眉，而不只是笑容、
皺眉，而不只是笑容、
07:04
how bad they made you feel,
132
412426
2117
他們帶給你多不好的感覺，
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
以及在做愛後，你們下山時迷了路，
07:10
argued like crazy
and didn't speak for two days.

What I tell my patients
is to compile an exhaustive list

我告訴我的病人，
編匯一份詳盡的清單，

of all the ways
the person was wrong for you,

136
426672
2397
列出這個人不適合你的每一點、
07:21
all the bad qualities, all the pet peeves,
137
429093
2488
所有不好的特質、所有惹你惱火的事，
07:23
and then keep it on your phone.
138
431605
2368
然後把那清單放在手機裡。
07:25
(Laughter)
139
433997
1043
（笑聲）
07:27
And once you have your list,
140
435496
1655
一旦你列出了清單，
07:29
you have to use it.
141
437175
1245
你得要使用它。
07:30
When I hear even a hint of idealizing
142
438970
2619
每次與病人會面，
當我感覺到有一點點理想化
當我感覺到有一點點理想化
07:33
or the faintest whiff
of nostalgia in a session,
of nostalgia in a session,
143
441613
3093
或是最微弱的懷舊之情要浮現時，
07:36
I go, "Phone, please."
144
444730
1984
我會說：「請拿出手機。」
07:38
(Laughter)
145
446738

（笑聲）
07:41
Your mind will try to tell you
they were perfect.
they were perfect.
146
449098
2518
你的大腦會試著告訴你他們很完美。
07:43
But they were not,
and neither was the relationship.
and neither was the relationship.
147
451640
2715
但他們並不完美，
你們的關係也不完美。
你們的關係也不完美。
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
如果你想要熬過去，
你就得提醒自己這件事，
你就得提醒自己這件事，
07:50
frequently.
149
458240
1182
常常提醒。
07:52
None of us is immune to heartbreak.
150
460361
2590
沒有人對心碎免疫。

he finally felt ready

When middle-aged people date,
they don't mess around.

158
484865

中年人約會不浪費時間。
08:20
It's like "Love, Actually"
meets "The Fast and the Furious."
meets "The Fast and the Furious."
159
488405
3273
這就像《愛是您，愛是我》
遇見《玩命關頭》。

08:23
(Laughter)
160
491702

08:26
Miguel was happier
than he had been in years.

161
494495

米格比過去幾年來都更快樂。
08:29
But the night before
their first anniversary,

162
497539
2754
但在他們一週年的前一晚，
08:32
Sharon left him.
163
500317
1323
雪倫離開了他。
08:34
She had decided to move to the West Coast
to be closer to her children,

164
502169

她決定搬到西岸，
離她的孩子們近一點，

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

而她不想談遠距離戀愛。
08:41
Miguel was totally blindsided
and utterly devastated.

166
509404
4763
米格在毫無防備下受到打擊，
徹底身心交瘁。
徹底身心交瘁。
08:46
He barely functioned at work
for many, many months,
for many, many months,
167
514660
2945
許多許多個月，他幾乎無法工作，
08:49
and he almost lost his job as a result.
168
517629
2496
結果他差點丟了飯碗。
08:52
Another consequence of heartbreak
is that feeling alone and in pain

520804

心碎的另一個後果
就是孤獨和痛苦的感受

09:08
But it wasn't just the intensity
of Miguel's grief

173
536535
3207
但讓米格的老闆感到困惑的，
09:11
that confused his employers;
174
539766
1895
不只是他的悲慟強度，
09:13
it was the duration.
175
541685
1460
還有時間長度。
09:15
Miguel was confused by this as well
176
543986
2280
米格自己也對此感到困惑，
09:18
and really quite embarrassed by it.
177
546290
1756
且因此覺得很不好意思。
09:20
"What's wrong with me?"
he asked me in our session.

178
548519
2597
「我是怎麼搞的？」
心理治療時他這樣問我。

09:23
"What adult spends almost a year
getting over a one-year relationship?"

179
551140
3962
「什麼樣的成人會花幾乎一年
才能忘懷只維持一年的感情？」
才能忘懷只維持一年的感情？」
09:27
Actually, many do.
180
555804
2225
其實，很多成人都如此。

Heartbreak is a complex

185
573702
3330
心碎是一種複雜的心理傷害。
09:49
It impacts us in a multitude of ways.
186
577056
2641
它以許多方式影響著我們。
09:52
For example, Sharon was both very social
187
580174
2699
比如，雪倫非常樂於社交，
09:55
and very active.
188
583405
1382
也非常主動。
09:56
She had dinners at the house every week.
189
584811
2590
每週她都會在家中辦晚餐會。
09:59
She and Miguel went on camping trips
with other couples.

190
587425

她和米格會和其他情侶
或夫妻一起外出露營。

10:02
Although Miguel was not religious,
191
590468
1893
雖然米格沒有宗教信仰，
10:04
he accompanied Sharon
to church every Sunday,
to church every Sunday,
192
592385
2178
每個星期日他會陪雪倫去教堂，
10:06
where he was welcomed
into the congregation.
into the congregation.
193
594587
2287
在教堂，他也被會眾歡迎。
10:09
Miguel didn't just lose his girlfriend;
194
597850
1941
米格失去的不只是他的女友；
10:12
he lost his entire social life,
195

他失去了他的整個社交生活，
10:15
the supportive community
of Sharon's church.

196
603025
2438
那個支持他的社群，雪倫的教堂。
10:17
He lost his identity as a couple.
197
605487
2130
他失去了身為「一對」的身分。
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
米格了解到，這次分手
讓他的人生留下了一個大空洞，
讓他的人生留下了一個大空洞，
10:24
but what he failed to recognize
199
612745
2761
但他沒有發現，
10:27
is that it left far more than just one.
200
615530
2377
留下的空洞其實不只一個。
10:30
And that is crucial,
201
618670
1310
那是很關鍵的一點，
10:32
not just because it explains
why heartbreak could be so devastating,
why heartbreak could be so devastating,
202
620491
4985
不單單因為它能解釋為什麼
心碎這麼讓人身心交瘁，
心碎這麼讓人身心交瘁，
10:37
but because it tells us how to heal.
203
625500
2155
也因為它告訴我們如何能治癒。
10:40
To fix your broken heart,
204
628934
2145
要修補你破碎的心，
10:43
you have to identify these voids
in your life and fill them,
in your life and fill them,
205
631103
3859
你得要辨識出你人生中的
那些空洞，並將之填補起來，
那些空洞，並將之填補起來，
10:46
and I mean all of them.
206
634986
1577
我指的是全部的空洞。
10:48
The voids in your identity:
207
636587
1729
你身分中的空洞：
10:50
you have to reestablish who you are
and what your life is about.
and what your life is about.
208
638340
3648
你得要重新建立你自己和你的生活。
10:54
The voids in your social life,
209
642012
1712
你社交生活中的空洞：
10:55
the missing activities,
even the empty spaces on the wall
even the empty spaces on the wall
210
643748
3076
少掉的活動，甚至
牆壁上把以前掛的照片
牆壁上把以前掛的照片
10:58
where pictures used to hang.
211
646848
1590
取下後留下的空白處。
11:01
But none of that will do any good
212
649339
1796
但這些都不會有用，
11:03
unless you prevent the mistakes
that can set you back,
that can set you back,
213
651159
3247
除非你能預防不要犯下
讓你走回頭路的錯誤，
讓你走回頭路的錯誤，
11:06
the unnecessary searches for explanations,
214
654430
2976
不要一直去找沒必要的解釋，
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
不要把你的前任給理想化，
都不想想他們不適合你的地方，
都不想想他們不適合你的地方，
11:13
indulging thoughts and behaviors
that still give them a starring role
that still give them a starring role
216
661661
3821
還沉迷在讓他們
像明星的行為與思想中，
像明星的行為與思想中，
11:17
in this next chapter of your life
217
665506
1611
在你人生的下一個章節
11:19
when they shouldn't be an extra.
218
667141
1542
他們應該是多餘的。
11:22
Getting over heartbreak is hard,
219
670548
2319
度過心碎是很難的，
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
但如果你拒絕被你的大腦誤導，
且能採取療癒的步驟，
且能採取療癒的步驟，
11:29
you can significantly minimize
your suffering.
your suffering.
221
677379
2675
你就能顯著地
將你所受的苦降至最低。
將你所受的苦降至最低。
11:32
And it won't just be you
who benefit from that.
who benefit from that.
222
680078
2420
受惠的不只有你。
11:34
You'll be more present with your friends,
223
682522
2055
和朋友一起時，你就更能處在當下，
11:36
more engaged with your family,
224
684601
2214
和家人更緊密，
11:39
not to mention the billions of dollars
of compromised productivity
of compromised productivity
225
687236
3803
更不用說在工作上
因為生產力降低而造成的
因為生產力降低而造成的
11:43
in the workplace that could be avoided.
226
691063
2093
數十億損失，那是可避免的。
11:46
So if you know someone who is heartbroken,
227
694451
2290
所以，如果你認識一個心碎的人，
11:49
have compassion,
228
697273
1559
要有同理心，
11:50
because social support has been found
to be important for their recovery.
to be important for their recovery.
229
698856
3750
因為社交上的支持已證實
對他們的恢復是很重要的。
對他們的恢復是很重要的。
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
因為要讓他們繼續前進
花的時間會比你預期的還長。
花的時間會比你預期的還長。
12:01
And if you're hurting,
232
709646
1228
如果你會痛，
12:03
know this:
233
711732
1183
要知道這一點：
12:05
it's difficult, it is a battle
within your own mind,
within your own mind,
234
713335
3090
這很辛苦，這是場
在你自己腦中的戰鬥，
在你自己腦中的戰鬥，
12:08
and you have to be diligent to win.
235
716449
2200
你得要很勤奮才能贏。
12:10
But you do have weapons.
236
718673
1805
但你確實有武器。
12:12
You can fight.
237
720502
1270
你能戰鬥。
12:14
And you will heal.
238
722200
1656
且你會復原。
12:16
Thank you.
