How To!: Fall Out of Love (Encore)
Several months ago, Sarah told her best friend John she\u2019s in love with him\u2014but he doesn\u2019t love her back. Now Sarah can\u2019t get John out of her head, especially because they still talk all the time. How can Sarah move on from John? On this episode of How To!, we bring on Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist and the author of Anatomy of Love, to help Sarah train her heart\u2014and her brain\u2014to fall out of love. The first thing Sarah needs to do, Helen says, is cut off contact with John. Every time she sees him, it reactivates her brain circuitry for romantic love. And as beautiful as their friendship may be, it\u2019s holding Sarah back from finding her true love.\xa0\nIf you liked this episode, check out \u201cHow To Propose (to a Man).\u201d\nDo you have a problem in your love life?
