The past!
Why Does Your Mind Keep Going Back There? 😊
That conversation. That moment. That thing someone said three years ago — and somehow you're still replaying it at 2am.
Why?
Often it's because something wasn't resolved. The mind keeps returning to unfinished business, hoping this time it'll make sense, or you'll find the right words, or it'll finally stop hurting.
Dr Joe Dispenza says every time you revisit a memory, you relive it chemically — same feelings, same stress response, over and over.
Replaying isn't remembering. It's reliving.
In therapy, we don't just revisit the memory — we help it finish properly, so it can finally rest. 💛
