Why don't we let go of the past?
Episode 105
Monday, 29 June, 2026
In this episode, we explore the complex nature of letting go of the past, the importance of boundaries, trust, and self-compassion. We talk about the difference between forgiving and forgetting. This can be a tricky one as we think that we ‘ought’ to just let go of things. And sometimes that is not in our best interests. We explore whether and when it’s ok to put in boundaries to protect ourself. We also discuss what happens when we hold on to a sense of things being better in the past and how that can affect our relationship with our present life. We discuss practical ways to navigate emotional baggage, rebuild trust, and find balance between holding on and moving forward.Key topicsWhy we hold on to past hurts and memoriesThe role of the brain in emotional patternsBoundaries and trust in relationshipsThe difference between forgive and forgetPracticing self-compassion and acceptanceThe impact of nostalgia on present lifeTechniques for letting go and closureThe importance of perspective shiftFind us at: www.adriennekirk.uk or www.presenceofmind.life Hosted on Acast.
