262 — You Don’t Need Closure to Heal: 4 Steps to Move Forward

Update: 2025-11-07

Description

What if you didn’t have to wait for an apology, an explanation, or that perfect last conversation to feel at peace with your past? You don’t need closure from someone else to move forward. You can create it for yourself.


The good news is there’s a practical, research-backed strategy you can use starting today. So instead of chasing one final conversation or piece of information that you think would give you closure, reclaim your energy, and writing your own ending.


Some of the things I share are:



  • What closure really is — and why your brain craves it after breakups, ghosting, or rejection

  • The science of unfinished stories and why rumination keeps us stuck

  • Why chasing “just one more conversation” almost always leads to more questions, not answers

  • The simple four-step plan to create your own sense of closure

  • The biggest mistake people make and how to avoid it

  • How to cope with unfinished business

  • The one time it makes sense to seek closure
