We've all been there—waiting for that apology, explanation, or "one last talk" that never really brings peace. In this episode, Lori dismantles the myth of closure and explains why the human mind—and especially the ego—becomes obsessed with resolution after loss, betrayal, or abandonment. Using psychology, neuroscience, and raw honesty, she breaks down:
*Why your brain loops unfinished stories (Zeigarnik effect) and how to close them internally.
*How your ego uses the need for closure to avoid vulnerability and surrender.
*The link between attachment styles and craving closure.
*The neuroscience of rejection and why emotional pain registers as physical pain.
*How to stop negotiating with reality when you don't get answers, justice, or validation.
*Powerful techniques to self-close: somatic rituals, reality acceptance, and reframing.
If you've ever said "I just need closure," this episode will change the way you think about healing forever. You'll walk away with a new understanding of how to free yourself from emotional loops, rebuild safety inside your body, and let go—without permission. Closure isn't a conversation. It's the moment you stop negotiating with reality.
