Your brain isn't replaying painful memories to torture you; it's desperately seeking justice for an "unfinished task." EP.10 explores the Default Mode Network (DMN) and how unresolved conflicts act as open loops in your neural circuitry. Using Stoic wisdom and the "Write and Burn" ritual, you will learn to provide your own closure. The past is a place you walked through, not a house you have to live in.
