  <itunes:subtitle>In this episode, we explore why resentment and rumination stick around—how unmet needs, unresolved boundaries, and lack of repair keep the brain looping painful experiences. We explain why “just letting it go” doesn’t work and share what actually helps reduce mental replay and emotional burnout.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Why does resentment linger — and why does your mind keep replaying what hurt you? In this episode, we unpack the psychology and neuroscience of resentment and rumination, explaining how unresolved boundaries, unmet needs, and lack of repair keep the brain stuck in repetitive loops. You’ll learn why “letting it go” rarely works, how resentment differs from anger, and what actually helps reduce mental replay and emotional exhaustion.&lt;/p&gt;
