In this episode, Jillian challenges that belief and explains why no one truly “gets away” with the harm they cause—because the psyche always remembers. She explores how unresolved guilt, shame, and avoidance show up in our bodies, relationships, and mental health, and why letting go of the story about someone else is one of the most powerful steps toward your own healing.
