“Just let it go.”
If only it were that simple.
In this episode, Marie explores the real reason neurodivergent brains hold on—to arguments, rejection, spirals, and stories long after others have moved on. It’s not drama. It’s neurobiology.
Through the lens of trauma loops, rejection sensitivity, and emotional memory, you’ll discover why your brain keeps replaying what hurt you—and how understanding this helps you break the cycle without blaming yourself for having big feelings.
In this episode:
- Why “letting go” feels impossible for ADHD/autistic brains
- The science behind emotional replay and trauma residue
- How rejection sensitivity wires us for rumination
- What SORA Ally looks for in recognizing stuck loops and offering gentle rewiring prompts
You’re not holding a grudge. Your brain is trying to protect you.
Let’s give your brain the context—and compassion—it’s been craving.
