Start Your Reset
You know the feeling
Your mind won’t switch off.
✓ You can’t stop thinking about them and the relationship
✓ You replay conversations, analysing what they said, what you said and what you wish you’d said
âś“ You keep wondering what happened and what changed
âś“ You search for answers that might finally make it all make sense
âś“ You struggle to focus on anything else
And it’s not just the thoughts.
âś“ You fight the urge to text or call them
âś“ You check their social media, even when you know it will make you feel worse
âś“ Sleep is difficult and the tears come without warning
âś“ The loneliness can feel unbearable
✓ And somehow you still have to manage life and keep functioning
WHY THIS FEELS SO HARD
────
Heartbreak isn’t just emotional.
Your brain and body are reacting too.
When a relationship ends, your brain doesn’t simply understand that it’s over and move on.
The attachment, reward and stress systems that were connected to that person are still active. That’s why you can know the relationship is over and still feel an overwhelming urge to reach out, check, replay or somehow make sense of what happened.
You’re not choosing the spiral. But you can learn how to interrupt it.
That’s why, drawing on over 30 years’ experience, I created Heartbreak Reset.

ABOUT RACHAEL
────────
When you’re in the depths of heartbreak, vague advice isn’t enough.
For over 30 years, I’ve worked with people going through all kinds of breakups, separations and divorces, and I’ve seen just how overwhelming heartbreak can be.
When your nervous system is on high alert, your thoughts are racing and your emotions feel completely overwhelming, it can be hard to know what to do next.
What you need are practical ways to start feeling a little better.
I often describe it as getting your head above water.
If you’re drowning, that’s not the time to start asking the big questions. Why did this happen? What does it mean? What do I want for my future?
First, we need to help you get to the surface.
You may still be in the water, but with your head above it, you can breathe. You can think more clearly. You can begin to see which way the shore is.
That’s why I created Heartbreak Reset.
Because before you can begin making sense of everything that happened, first you need to calm your nervous system and bring down the intensity of your emotions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Heartbreak Reset for me?
Heartbreak Reset is designed for anyone struggling with the end, loss or uncertainty of a romantic relationship.
Whether you’re dealing with a recent breakup, a long-term separation or divorce, the end of a dating relationship or situationship, or the pain of unrequited love, the tools are designed to help with the difficult thoughts, emotions and urges that can come with heartbreak.
You don’t need to have been married, together for years, or even in an official relationship for heartbreak to hurt.
Is Heartbreak Reset right for me if my breakup happened a while ago?
Yes. Heartbreak Reset isn’t only for the first few days or weeks after a relationship ends. If you’re still overthinking, missing them, struggling with urges to reach out, feeling emotionally overwhelmed or finding certain moments particularly difficult, the techniques can help you manage what you’re experiencing now.
What if I was the one who ended the relationship?
Heartbreak can hurt deeply even when you were the one who chose to leave. You can know a relationship wasn’t right for you and still miss them, question your decision, feel lonely, grieve the future you imagined or struggle with the urge to go back.
Heartbreak Reset isn’t based on who ended the relationship. The techniques are designed to help you manage the thoughts, emotions and urges you’re experiencing now, so you can feel steadier and begin moving forward.
What if I don’t have the energy to do another course?
That’s exactly why Heartbreak Reset is deliberately short and practical. Every video is under 9 minutes, and all 7 videos combined can be watched in under an hour.
You don’t need to do everything at once. Watch one video, try one technique, or simply go straight to the section that addresses what you’re struggling with in that moment.
What if some of the techniques don’t work for me?
That’s completely fine. There are 25 different evidence-based techniques because not every strategy will resonate with every person.
Try them. See what makes a difference. Keep the ones that work for you and leave the ones that don’t. The aim is to build your own collection of practical tools you can draw on when you need them.
Do I need to complete the workbook?
No. The workbook is there to help you put the techniques into practice, but there’s no pressure to complete every page.
You’ll also find journal and reflection prompts if you want to explore what you’re experiencing a little more deeply. You can do as much or as little as feels useful to you.
Is Heartbreak Reset therapy?
No. Heartbreak Reset is an educational self-help program that provides practical, evidence-based strategies for managing some of the thoughts, emotions and urges that can come with heartbreak.
It is not psychological therapy and is not a substitute for individual professional support. If you’re experiencing significant or ongoing distress, please seek appropriate professional help.
