Why do old loves still haunt us...sometimes decades later?
That late-night dorm call, the heartbreak, the chaos… your brain remembers it all.
In this episode of Take Out Therapy, Rebecca Hunter, therapist and anxiety expert, unpacks why past relationships feel unforgettable: how first love wires the brain like an addiction, how attachment ruptures cut deep, and why memory loves to romanticize the drama.
You’ll also learn simple strategies to quiet the rumination loop, naming it, reality-checking it, and creating your own closure, so old love stops running your present.
Listen now and discover how to stop replaying the past and reclaim your peace.
