Getting over a painful breakup can be one of the hardest things we will ever experience—why doesn’t our culture have any rituals for mourning a lost love? Psychotherapist Ms. Tasha Jackson, MA, takes the TEDx Talk stage to discuss the messy work of learning to mend your heart and love again by sharing her personal story and professional remedies for not allowing “breakups to break us” as we try to stay connected during this “loneliness epidemic.” Finding symbolism, wisdom, and even humor in heartbreak, Jackson inspires anyone grieving a lost love to get their hearts pumping again. Born with a girl crush on a two-foot pig—clinical psychotherapist, marriage family therapist and relationship counselor, Tasha Jackson believes we could all glean some hutzpah from the audacious, trailblazing feminist, Miss Piggy. Daring to make psychology digestible and self-help actually fun, Tasha channels her spirit animal in her TEDx Talk to playfully karate-chop a little emotional wisdom into people mending broken hearts —“Don’t forget how miserable they made you! You deserve to be happy! You’re an awesome catch—Hi-Yah!” Raised by a lesbian mother, Tasha gained national attention in the LGBTQ community for being one of the first U.S. based therapists to openly advocate for gay parenting. With a diverse clientele that ranges from drag queens to CEOs, Tasha Jackson has been widely published in academic journals and guest lectured as a master-level teacher. Her new book is Master Dater: The New Normal Dating Guide for Finding Love In the Digital Age, Plus 29 Hilarious and Humbling Anecdotes from a Therapist’s Dating Life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
