Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall The Psychology of Letting it Go
1We all hold on—whether it’s to physical objects gathering dust, old habits that keep us stuck, or emotional baggage from the past. But why is letting go so hard? In this episode of Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall, we unpack the psychology behind our attachments and explore why the brain resists change, even when it’s for our good.
From the endowment effect that makes possessions feel more valuable just because they’re ours, to the emotional conditioning that keeps us tied to relationships or identities we’ve outgrown, we reveal the hidden forces at play. You’ll hear real-life stories, science-backed insights, and practical strategies to help you release what’s weighing you down—without guilt or fear. Whether you’re decluttering your closet, breaking free from a toxic relationship, or shedding outdated self-beliefs, this episode is your guide to creating space for growth, joy, and the life you want.
