Heartbreak is more than an emotional wound. It can reach deep into our roots, shaping how we love, live, and lead. In her new book, The Psychology of a Broken Heart, Clinical Faith-based Counsellor Margo Monique Thompson offers a transformative guide that blends psychology, spirituality, and lived experience to help readers break toxic patterns, heal generational wounds, and step into lasting wholeness.

Toronto, ON, September 2025, Margo Monique Thompson, Clinical Faith-based Counsellor, Executive Contributor with Brainz Magazine, and founder of Complete Care C Wellness Counselling Clinic, has just released her groundbreaking new book, The Psychology of a Broken Heart. This much-anticipated release offers readers not just another relationship book, but a powerful roadmap to healing, self-discovery, and generational transformation. Now available worldwide through Amazon and Kindle Direct Publishing, Thompson’s book equips readers to confront heartbreak at its deepest level at the roots.


“This book is my heartfelt contribution to anyone who has ever asked, ‘How did I get here?’” said Thompson. “It’s not just about the psychology of heartbreak, but about understanding the spiritual and generational roots of our wounds. Healing doesn’t just change you, it changes the generations that come after you.”


In The Psychology of a Broken Heart, Thompson blends clinical expertise, faith-based insight, and lived experience to guide readers through:


  • Trauma-informed love archetypes, including the fix-it lover, anchored lover, and transactional lover

  • ACE-related core wounds that shape how we love and hurt

  • Mirror work and pruning practices that release toxic patterns and make space for growth

  • Practical tools and journal prompts for personal reflection and emotional healing


Early readers are calling the book “a life-changing experience,” and “a work that speaks to the heart as much as it speaks to the mind.”


The Psychology of a Broken Heart is currently available as an eBook and will soon be released as a paperback and audiobook on Amazon worldwide. The digital copy is available for purchase here. Thompson is also available for speaking engagements, workshops, family mediation, and marriage support services as part of her book release initiatives.
