Is there a word for when someone has gotten over or is no longer affected by something?
Like after a break up, when someone “moves on” it might mean they have effectively forgotten about the other person. Is there a single word this?

1recovered as in I have fully recovered from Jennifer? If that doesn't appeal give us a sample sentence or two into which you want the as-yet undiscovered single word to fit.– High Performance MarkOct 21, 2021 at 7:02

It's not a single word in total, but the phrase 'have closure' might be what you're looking for.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/closure
In the sentence being reviewed, it could look like:
I have closure around what happened with Jennifer
or
They broke up two years ago, but she didn't have closure until six months ago. And then she started dating again.
“Overcome” is the first thing that comes to mind

1The trouble with overcome is that the sentence I have overcome Jennifer does not mean I have got over Jennifer, rather it means something like I have come off better in my struggle (probably physical, possibly metaphorical) with Jennifer. Oct 24, 2021 at 7:42
