Why do we keep suffering from the same memory even when it's already over?

Something I've been sitting with for a while. At some point the pain stops coming from what actually happened. The event is over. The people may be gone. Life has moved on. But the suffering continues — because we keep returning to it. Replaying it. And it's the returning, not the original event, that keeps the wound open. It's like pressing a bruise every day to check if it still hurts. Of course it does. You never gave it a chance to heal. Made a short 2 minute video exploring this if anyone wants to watch. But even without watching — has anyone else noticed this in themselves? The moment you stopped going back, did things
actually start getting better?
