Venting feels like relief in the moment — but what if it’s actually training your brain to stay stuck?

In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening in the brain when we repeatedly vent about the same situation. The brain is a pattern-recognition machine. When it hears the same story over and over, it doesn’t interpret it as a problem to solve — it interprets it as something important to keep available.

That’s when access becomes easier, emotional charge increases, and what I often call “bad brain juice” gets reinforced.

You’ll hear about:

• Why repetition tells the brain “this matters — keep it ready”
• How venting strengthens neural pathways instead of releasing them
• The role of the unconscious mind — and why it doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality
• How replaying emotional stories conditions your nervous system as if they’re happening again
• Why venting can quietly lock you into the very state you want to escape

This episode isn’t about suppressing emotion — it’s about understanding how the brain works so you can stop feeding patterns that no longer serve you.

If you’ve ever wondered why talking things out doesn’t always bring freedom, this conversation will shift how you relate to your inner world.
