What if the reason you can't let go of something painful isn't because you're stuck — but because a part of you is still trying to protect your heart? In this episode, I explore why old wounds stay with us, even decades later, and how our nervous system holds on in an effort to keep us safe. Through the story of a listener navigating heartbreak from 30 years ago, MI gently unpacks how healing isn't about forgetting the past but learning how to meet it differently. If you've ever struggled to move on from something that changed you, this episode will offer the kind of wisdom and comfort you didn't know you needed.
