Description

Closure isn’t a door you wait to have slammed shut - it’s a bridge you build. In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim breaks the biggest “closure” myths and shows you how to move forward without an apology, a perfect explanation, or one last text. If you’ve felt stuck in relationship residue, this is your map.


In this episode, you’ll learn:



  • Why “waiting for closure” keeps you stuck

  • Acceptance over answers (and why that heals faster)

  • How to generate closure without contact

  • Turning an expired relationship into a stronger self

  • Realism > idealism: healing as a process, not an event

  • Community & service as fuel for resilience
