A soft tone marks each question, and a lower one marks a release. Silence works too.

Releasing is a mid-twentieth-century American self-inquiry practice. Instead of analyzing a feeling, arguing with it, or acting on it, you welcome it fully and then ask whether you are willing to drop it. The questions look too simple to do anything. Their job is to make the grip visible: a feeling persists mostly because some part of you is holding on to it, and a direct question about letting go puts that holding in plain sight. Once you can feel the grip, opening the hand is easy.
This app is the loop, a counter, and a log. All text here is original writing.
Name what is here — one word is plenty, and a wrong word still works. Rate it before you start; the number gives you something to compare against afterward, which matters more than it sounds. Then welcome the feeling. This is most of the practice: let it be as big as it actually is, find where it sits in the body, and stop pushing against it for a moment. A feeling fully allowed is already half released.
Then the three questions. Could you let this go — not should you, not will you, but is it possible. Would you — if you could, are you willing. When. Answer honestly and quickly, from the gut, not the head. No is a legitimate answer to every question; asking is what does the work, and a string of honest noes often ends in an unexpected yes. When a round finishes, rate the feeling again. If there is anything left, run another round. Big feelings come off in layers.
Small and often beats rare and deep. The whole loop takes under a minute, which means it fits before a call, after an email, in a parking lot. The feelings you release most often will show up in your stats — that list is worth reading.
An honest note on claims: the books in this tradition promise a lot, and the research behind those promises is thin. What you can verify is your own before-and-after numbers, and this app keeps them all. For everyday emotional weather — irritation, dread before a meeting, a want that will not quiet down — the loop is fast and repeatable. For grief and trauma, see a human. A question loop is not therapy and does not pretend to be.
