It seems like the self-help people who call themselves "coaches" can help you get any aspect of your life together. Life, business and financial coaches make a killing by directing and guiding people through life, and they now can do the same for people who are working through breakups. Reportedly, Katy Perry hired a "heartbreak coach" after she and on-again, off-again boyfriend John Mayer broke up the first time. She seemed to need a little more recovery time after her traumatic divorce from Russell Brand. And it appeared to work – she and Mayer are happier than ever after reconciling. While most of us don't have the cash to hire a heartbreak coach – sometimes to the tune of $10,000 or more for just one day of work! – we can use their tips and tricks to recover from a breakup. Aurora Winter, a heartbreak coach and author of From Heartbreak to Happiness, told Grazia magazine, "A broken heart is like a broken arm. When you break your arm, you see a doctor right away. I take them through whatever painful experiences they had and encourage them to stop holding on to them." She calls breakups "growth opportunities" and says coaching is a way to speed emotional growth, allowing for the grieving process, and providing tools for people to have successful relationships in the future. Her five tips on getting over a breakup are as follows. First, be clear on your relationship priorities.
