The feeling of a broken heart is a known phenomenon among many adults as well as teenagers and can be very difficult and painful to recover from. Guy Winch, a clinical psychologist, speaker, and author, expresses his thoughts on this topic in the TED talk from 2017, guiding the audience how to fix a broken heart. We get insight into the point of view of some of his patients' love stories, and how heartbreak affected them.
A broken heart gives you a feeling of deep sadness because you’ve lost someone you love. It can feel like a part of you is missing. Often, it’s seen that people go down one rabbit hole after another, which can significantly impact their lives by decreased focus and effectiveness at work, in addition to having challenges being social and staying positive around other people.
The receivers of Guy Winch's speech are people who want to learn how to deal with heartbreak, either for themselves or to help others. The audience watching Guy Winch on the TED talk probably shares these thoughts about heartbreak and can use Guy Winch's message to reflect on their own lives. In his speech, Winch speaks to the entire audience, stating, "At some point in our lives, almost every one of us will have our heart broken." This indicates he thinks his message relates to most people listening. As he progresses with his speech, Winch discusses heartbreak with both those who have gone through it and those who haven't yet, suggesting they might still face it someday. Guy Winch often refers to “you” making the audience watching the live-show, the major receivers-group. On the other hand, since his TED Talk is available online for anyone to watch, it potentially reaches a much larger audience.
