At Amanda Askew Ltd, we offer a powerful technique called The Gentle Release as part of our therapeutic and emotional support work. It’s a method learnt and refined through our NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Trainer’s training and Time Line Therapy® training.

The Gentle Release is about helping you gently release unresolved emotions or thinking patterns that may be connected to experiences from your past. These experiences can sometimes leave emotional ‘imprints’ that influence how we think, feel, and respond in our present lives — even if we’re not always consciously aware of them.

The Gentle Release works with the mind’s natural ability to store, process, and reframe memories. Rather than diving into painful details or reliving trauma, this technique allows you to:

• Access key moments from the past from a safe, calm mental distance
• Understand the emotional meaning you attached to the event at the time
• Release or transform those emotional responses
• Replace limiting beliefs with more empowering, healing perspectives
• It’s a collaborative, guided process, and you are fully awake and in control the entire time.

• Persistent anxiety or fear
• Unresolved grief or sadness
• Low self-esteem or self-doubt
• Emotional triggers that feel out of proportion
• Repeating patterns in relationships
• Feeling 'stuck' in the past
• Letting go of guilt, shame, or anger

Most clients describe The Gentle Release sessions as deeply calming, insightful, and often surprisingly gentle. You’ll be guided into a relaxed state of awareness (not hypnosis), where we explore your internal timeline — a mental representation of your life’s journey — and identify key moments where emotional healing can take place.

There’s no pressure, no judgement, and no expectation to share more than you’re comfortable with. You’re in a safe, supportive space throughout the process.

Over the years, we  have seen how unresolved emotional memories can quietly shape our decisions, relationships, and sense of self-worth. The Gentle Release offers a way to lighten that emotional load — to help you reclaim your energy, confidence, and emotional freedom.

It’s a beautiful and empowering process that many clients say has changed their lives — not by changing the past, but by changing how they feel about it.

If you’re ready to let go of old emotional baggage and step into a more peaceful, empowered version of yourself, The Gentle Release may be a valuable part of that journey. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions — We’re here to support you every step of the way.
