Whether it’s a situationship that never became official or unresolved tension in friendships and chosen family, the lack of answers can leave us stuck in rumination. In this video, we’re unpacking the psychology of closure, why our brains crave certainty, and how urgency and permanence shape the way we process endings.
By understanding our need for closure and establishing healthy boundaries, we can stop chasing answers that may never come and start creating our own clarity.
