Unprocessed Emotions: From Regulation to Resolution – The Logic of Cognitive Decompression

Unprocessed emotions act like background apps hogging your brain’s limited working memory, slowing you down even in quiet moments. This fresh lens recasts cognitive overload as emotional RAM drain—and introduces introspection as the ultimate cleaner. Some cognitive models suggest that unprocessed emotions can waste 20–30% of our thinking bandwidth. It’s like trying to ship code … Read more
