Yes, for everyone in the program we offer additional free group coaching sessions once a week. These sessions are usually on Fridays or Saturdays at either 19:00 or 11:00 (Central European time).  The sessions last around 1 hour. These sessions contain a group release session, a Q&A and the possibilty to meet a healing buddy.

Not at all, we want to Release the stress from the body. After a Release, it is gone. Because of that you will feel calm instantly. With Release we are diving into the root of the problems.

We assume you have already been through the medical system and can’t be helped there. We focus on the following labels: Long COVID, ME/CFS, MCAS, chronic pain and lyme, adrenal fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions and burnout. These conditions are a mixture of different kinds of symptoms.

  • The MindBody symptoms include fatigue, pain, vertigo, nausea, depression, migraines, and depersonalization.
  • Stress symptoms: (e.g., IBS, SIBO, tinitus, sleep deprivation, burnout, tiredness, exhaustion, adrenal fatigue, restlessness, and overthinking)
  • Emotional symptoms such as anxiety, POTS, shortness of breath, poor digestion, fear disorders, frustration, and helplessness are common.
  • Healing and Release symptoms.

This is a self-help program. Those who require personal support because they are suicidal, extremely traumatized, unable to watch the videos, unable to connect with their bodies, or unable to take responsibility for themselves should not participate in this program. In this program, we are diving deep into the root of all the problems and doing a lot of sometimes painful inner work.

This program requires a basic level of being able to watch a 15-minute video, dressing yourself, going to the toilet, feeding yourself , using your muscles slightly and being able to feel certain emotions and feelings.

We do recommend additional nervous system support for those who have experienced severe trauma but still wish to participate in the program. Having a “somatic experience practitioner” is a wonderful addition to the program. The program will assist you in making these extra sessions more effective.

I have noticed that people who are new to ME/CFS, Long COVID, or other similar labels are often not prepared to dive into the releases. The releases are challenging, and your brain’s protective mechanisms can significantly hinder your progress. Particularly when the condition is still relatively new, one’s willingness to delve deeper is often reduced. The unconscious search for a quick fix could potentially sabotage your results.

Most of our clients have completed popular brain retraining and pacing courses prior to beginning this entirely different program. People who haven’t followed these types of programs often mention them in private messages, asking me why they’re different and feeling enticed to try something more mainstream. It appears that many people need to undertake numerous other tasks before they are prepared to delve into the underlying causes of their chronic illnesses.

This depends on how many layers of stress you have suppressed in your body. When this is not a lot, then probably yes. But most people have many different layers of stress that will come up one by one. Each layer can make you experience symptoms, and it is up to you to initiate a Release. Instead of claiming that you will be fully healed in a few months, we know that you have all the tools you need. You can react appropriately to your symptoms and find ways to Release them. Each and everyone will experience a Release in the program. Some will experience this immediately, and others will need some more time for preparation. This is usually the case for those who are extremely traumatized. (Someone with severe trauma tends to hardly remember anything from their childhood.) It is important to know that you can’t heal in a rush; if you rush through the content, you will set yourself up for failure.

Being fully healed or not is not anymore important as you will learn to dissipate your symptoms with a Release, after that you will feel a lot better and the mind calms down. Enjoy that state, because in a few days another layer of stress might cause some other symptoms. In that case we trust that you will know how to work on a Release. This way, healing is not all or nothing and you can make sure that you can have a job and continue your life.

The Release Program is deeply practical and emotionally grounded. It’s not designed to overload you with theory—it’s structured to help you implement what matters most, in a way that meets your system where it is.

Here’s what the program contains:

Concise video modules with practical summaries and clear guidance
Guided audio sessions to help deepen emotional and somatic connection
Homework invitations designed to gently prepare the limbic brain for emotional release
Healthy habit frameworks that reduce secondary stress and support daily regulation
Short podcasts for integration and everyday reflection
Optional deepening content, available when you’re ready to explore further
An online community space within the program portal for gentle connection
Weekly group sessions held Fridays or Saturdays at either 11:00 or 19:00 CET

Guidance that adapts to your personal healing rhythm, symptom profile, and emotional capacity

Understanding and support for a wide range of symptoms—from fatigue and freeze states to emotional loops and nervous system dysregulation

Why We Don’t Share Every Detail Upfront

We choose not to disclose the full contents of the program publicly. This is a protective choice—for both you and the integrity of the work.

Emotional release tools require gentle preparation. Without it, you may unintentionally activate overwhelming emotions or intensify symptoms.

Many people arrive thinking they’ve “already done this,” when in reality, they’ve addressed surface patterns but not the core emotional architecture. As long as there’s chronic stress, looping thoughts, stuck emotions, or physical symptoms, the work we guide can support you.

We prioritize safety over curiosity. You’ll access each layer of the program only when your body is ready for it. This pacing makes all the difference.

If you’re ready to move beyond coping and into real emotional healing, the program is here to support you in a grounded, spacious, and intuitive way.

This is what we don’t do:

  • Brain retraining in the way that other programs are doing this.
    • We implement neuroplasticity in a way that makes releases easier over time.
  • Stop techniques
  • Old-school pacing This has proven to be unhelpful for more than 50% of our clients.
  • Telling you that it is your fault when it doesn’t work for you
    • We continuously enhance the program to incorporate all the protection mechanisms we’ve found in our clients during our coaching journey. A protection mechanism makes it harder to experience a release, and one should first work with this necessary aspect.
  • Present you with a one-size fits all approach.

We don’t offer any discounts.

A full release is a physical reaction that your body makes when it connects to the underlying stressor that is causing the current symptoms. These releases are highly emotional, and the body will make some involuntary movements such as shivering, twitching, shaking, crying, sweating, uncontrolled laughter, burping, gagging, or even vomiting. This will persist for a few minutes, after which your symptoms will subside and your mind will become blank.

A partial release happens when you have found the underlying stressor and are trying to connect with it. This will often increase your symptoms. Sometimes you are not finished with the release, and you should dive in more in order for your symptoms to subside.

This is different for everyone. Some clients will experience them almost immediately, while others may require up to 9 months to complete the preparation work. On average, our clients experience them about 3–5 months after starting the program. A large part of the release program is designed to help you prepare for it. It helps to not overthink the process and make it a purely physical experience. Thinking and analyzing are often coping mechanisms that prevent you from having (full) releases.

It’s completely normal if a full release doesn’t happen right away. When people first start connecting with the underlying stressor behind their mind‑body symptoms, the system often responds with more symptoms or emotional intensity. This is not a setback, it’s simply the nervous system becoming aware of what has been suppressed.

In the beginning, many people experience partial or gradual releases. These may feel less dramatic than a full release, but they still create real change over time. With each layer that softens, the system becomes safer, more open, and more capable of going deeper.

As your capacity grows, it becomes easier to connect fully with the underlying emotion. One of the biggest obstacles is pressure. The idea that you “must” have a release. Pressure activates resistance, and resistance makes it harder to feel what’s underneath.

Healing happens through softness, safety, and ease. A big part of the program is helping your system learn that emotional experiences are safe, so that deeper releases can happen naturally, without force.

Whether your journey begins with gradual shifts or with bigger releases, both paths are valid and both lead forward.

Without preparation, you will make it very hard for yourself.

No, there are a few steps to take first. The first step is creating a safe and low-stress rhythm, and after that, there needs to be preparation work. The length of this phase depends on the severity of stress suppression. In the Release Program, we guide you through the entire process.

Each of the 13 modules has a few videos with explanations, and watching them will take around 25–40 minutes per module. We recommend starting a new module every week or second week.

Initially, our goal is to conserve time by focusing on developing healthy habits and executing your existing tasks in a less stressful manner. After that, we ask you to dedicate 10 minutes a day, six days a week, to prepare your brain for the upcoming releases.

On top of that, there are guided sessions in the program. The first half of the program focuses on stress release and preparing you for the releases.

In the second part of the program, we ask you to do a guided release session when you have symptoms for a maximum 30 minutes a day.

To help you with the tools, we offer group sessions, these are are 1 hour in lenght. Right now we offer 4 sessions a month. These sessons are usually on Fridays or Saturdays. There is twice a month a session at 19:00 (Central European time) and twice a month a session that starts at 11:00 (Central European time).

The content in the program is short and to the point. We start working on lowering your stress response immediately, and as a consequence, you will experience more energy. The program itself is not something extra that you do, but more about doing things that you are already doing in a different way. This also counts for reacting to your symptoms. If you find it hard to start, check out the free guided meditations first. These sessions will already help you lower your stress response.

A MindBody symptom is a protection mechanism from the amygdala and the limbic brain to protect you against a certain stressor. Common MindBody symptoms are fatigue, pain, depression, vertigo, nausea, migraines, deperzonalization, jaw pain, etc. These symptoms are extreme and force you to stop and go to rest somewhere. A good indication of MindBody symptoms is that there are good and bad days. Activity and (emotional) stress can make these symptoms worse. An emotionally challenging moment or period usually increases the symptoms dramatically. (A MindBody symptom might have a certain baseline and can be relatively stable.) A large percentage of people experience these symptoms as a post-viral condition.

Common MindBody symptoms are fatigue, pain, vertigo, flu-like symptoms, brain fog, a crash, depression, migraines, tension headaches, burning mouth, etc. These symptoms force you to stay in bed.

The stressor is heavily loaded with emotions and is very intense. Going through a release will make you experience an overwhelming sensation. Many people suppress certain things because they are necessary for survival. From a childish perspective, your survival depends on not feeling the underlying stressor.

This is usually a very emotional thing; it can be the emotion itself, but also a truth, a fact, or a belief. It is something to which you have an (unconscious) resistance. A trigger can bring this stressor up and make you experience a MindBody symptom for your protection. For everyone, the stressor is different.

In additional coaching sessions with members, we are usually able to find their current stressor within 30 minutes. When we let them focus on their stressors, they will likely experience an increase in symptoms or a complete shutdown where they disconnect from yourself. This happens, especially when the preparation work has not been done.

Because your body is in a state of resistance against your stressors, it also causes stress symptoms such as sleep deprivation, feeling wired, tinnitus, nervous system sensitivity, or overthinking.

This varies from person to person. Some only have around 10 layers and experience fast results; others may have 1000 layers. It is important to know that this doesn’t matter that much, as the goal after a release is for you to feel better, symptoms to dissipate, and your mind to calm down. Enjoy that state, because in a few days another layer might come up. If that happens, then we assume that you can release that layer again pretty quickly after the course.

1:1 Coaching sessions are not needed. I know it can be helpful to dive into the root cause with someone else. For this, wait at least until the second part of the program, where you will have practiced some of the release tools by yourself. We recommend taking at least 1 month between sessions, with a maximum of 3 sessions per person in total. This is because the program incorporates everything we do in coaching sessions. We don’t want you to become dependent on our help.

You will calm your body down during the Release process, and as a result, your body’s immune system and other processes can clean up pathogens again. Things such as toxins and heavy metals don’t cause MindBody symptoms. When you become really stressed about these things, you make it harder for yourself. Supplements and other detox tools can be beneficial, but not when you are experiencing chronic stress. When you are back in a state of homeostasis, your body will slowly work on cleaning itself.

Issues such as parasites or other physical infections in the gut, require healing on multiple levels. If you don’t address the mental, physical, or emotional aspects, working on the body is typically ineffective. Nevertheless, it is helpful to take supplements or medication when needed.

We have come to understand that a viral infection is usually the start of a release process. A fever purifies the body, allowing the release of old stressors. Unfortunately, the brain is in resistance, which creates mind-body symptoms. We can turn these symptoms on and off on demand, and therefore you will know exactly what is going on in your unconscious.

Similar to the start of a viral infection, a vaccination can trigger old stress to come to the surface. We have to be careful in this case; people can experience all kinds of issues after vaccinations, but not all of them are stress- and mind-body-related. We have helped many people with post-vaccination health problems, but that was only after determining whether their symptoms were mind-body and stress-related. If we manage to create an increase and decrease in demand, then we are sure we can help. A good indication of mind-body symptoms is that there are good and bad days, and activity can make things worse.

The list is maybe endless, but here are a few of the most common moments before a chronic disease:

  • A pregnancy.
  • The end of a study or stressful job.
  • Excessive long-term stress.
  • A spiritual experience
  • Moving to a safe place
  • Reaching financial safety
  • A holiday
  • The start of a beautiful new job or relationship
  • etc.

In the Release program, we explain what all these moments have in common.

Medication and antidepressants, in particular, are psychoblockers. This means that the improvements you experience as a result are a form of emotional blockage. Releasing your emotions is the opposite of blocking them. The latter works best in the long run because suppressing them keeps them stuck in your body.

With the Release program, you will learn to connect with your emotions. Stopping cold turkey with your medication is going to be very hard, or maybe even impossible. Instead, I would recommend that you learn the program’s tools first. After you have finished it, you can experiment with tapering your medication slowly.

You will experience the emergence of a multitude of emotions. Without the tools, this will most likely be too overwhelming. But with the help of the program, you will have all the tools you need to guide yourself through this process.

Do you have other questions?

Above, you can find the most common question I receive about the healing journey via the release process. If you have any other questions, feel free to send us a message via the contact form.

Healing from a chronic disease, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lyme disease, etc., is a complicated journey. You will most likely have heard thousands of stories and strategies already. You probably ask yourself why a release process would be more efficient than something like brain retraining, detoxing, or pacing.

The short answer is that after every release, you are going to feel so much better, and symptoms will dissipate, especially mind-body symptoms. Your stress levels will lower immediately, and this will, over time, have a massive effect on your stress symptoms, such as poor sleep, low thinking levels, eczema outbreaks, and feeling wired.

Instead of slow progress, there will be immediate progress. This changes everything. After a release, you will experience a good phase for a maximum of a few days. When the next layer of stress arises, all you need is a new release to keep feeling better. There are going to be many ups and downs, and that is exactly how we want it.

Of course, you would need to prepare yourself for this first. Without preparation, a release can become challenging or unfeasible. So please don’t skip the beginning of the program and dive unprepared into releases.
