Episode 2731: Dr. Jennifer Jill Harman challenges the popular notion of "closure" by revealing its psychological ambiguity and emotional elusiveness. Through personal reflection and psychological theory, she suggests that seeking definite answers after heartbreak may do more harm than good, and that true healing comes from embracing uncertainty, not resolving it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/i-need-closure-why-it-is-not-possible-to-get-it/ Quotes to ponder: "Closure has never really been defined." "Some therapists have gone so far to state that true closure is a 'myth' and impossible to achieve." "The take-home message is to be OK with not knowing 'why' things ended."
