Can a broken heart actually break your body?

The answer is yes.

Broken Heart Syndrome is a medically recognized condition that can occur after intense emotional stress, grief, trauma, or sudden life-changing events. Yet many people—including healthcare professionals and helping practitioners—know very little about how profoundly emotional pain can affect physical health.

In this heartfelt and educational presentation, Shamie Parks combines current medical research with her own powerful personal journey after being diagnosed with Broken Heart Syndrome. Her story offers a rare look at the intersection of emotional trauma, physical health, and the remarkable capacity of the human mind and body to heal.
