Why Letting Go Is So Difficult Understanding stress, control & emotional holding

Letting go is often described as a decision or a skill.

In reality, it’s usually much more complex.

Many people understand their patterns very well and still find themselves returning to the same stress responses, emotional loops, or inner tension.

This event is about understanding why, from both a psychological and spiritual context.

The impact of this session is directly related to how willing you are to question familiar perspectives and expand your way of thinking.
Clarity, is the focus.

⸻

What we’ll explore

Together, we’ll look at:
• how stress and emotional holding are connected
• why control often creates a sense of safety
• how identity shapes recurring stress patterns
• why understanding is a necessary foundation before change becomes possible

The intention is to create orientation, a more accurate map of what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

How this event works

The format unfolds in two connected parts:

1. A structured input (~30 minutes)
A focused talk introducing the mechanics behind stress, control, and emotional holding.

2. A live conversation round
Reflection, questions, and shared perspectives.

Both parts belong together and form the full experience.

Participation & presence

This event is built around shared presence and dialogue.

I’m not speaking at an audience. I’m speaking with the people in the room.

For that reason, camera on is part of the format. Seeing each other is essential for the quality of the conversation.

Listening, reflecting, and actively participating are core elements of this session.

If you prefer anonymous or camera-off formats, this event is not for you.

A small note on regulation

Whether you attend this event or simply read this description:

A free 10-Minute Reset is available. A short, grounding practice designed to support regulation and create space.

If the idea of taking 10 minutes for yourself already feels like too much,
that reaction is meaningful. It often points to a nervous system running in constant alert mode.

In that case, those 10 minutes are usually exactly what creates the most relief.

This is not part of the event.
It’s simply available.

-> 10-Minute reset

What you’ll take with you
• a clearer understanding of why letting go often feels difficult
• language for experiences that previously felt vague or confusing
• a more realistic sense of what sustainable change actually requires

This session opens a door through understanding.
What happens beyond that door is an individual process.
