Letting go opens doors that would otherwise remain closed under the weight of what we carry. Opening them requires not only courage but also confrontation with what keeps them closed.
I once asked my client to imagine that her thought of not being good enough was disappearing. “What do you feel?" I asked. Consternation appeared on her face. “I don't know who I am,” she replied. It turned out that her actions in life were mainly directed at satisfying the expectations of others, and when the thought of being insufficiently good disappeared, her identity disappeared as well.
Why is it so hard to let go of something?
We tend to get stuck in what is and become wrapped up in impressions with negative content. When we let go, what troubles us loses its meaning, and we anchor ourselves in a new reality—we renew ourselves, we become someone else. This transformation is reflected in our relationship with what is and what was.
Often, however, what troubles us (a thought, a situation...) is merely a clue, a signpost to some inner conflict or unhealed wound, of which we are often unaware. That’s why it’s so hard to understand what makes us unable to let go.
One example is A., who had several attempts to quit smoking, but after each one, she returned to the habit. During a session of psychokinesiology, it turned out that the cigarette had a hidden meaning for her—subconsciously, it fulfilled the function of a friend, someone who held her hand in difficult moments. It was the support she didn’t have as a child. When this information came to light and she realized what she needed, her interest in cigarettes disappeared. Consequently, the addiction abandoned her on its own.
Psychokinesiology allows us to access the subconscious, look beneath emotions, thoughts, and ideas, and release them.
