This article is something I wrote to capture what I’ve been seeing again and again in my work. Sometimes the most important thing I can do as a facilitator is help a group let go.

In the piece, I talk about what unlearning looks like in real rooms, and I offer three tools that have helped me support it: Timeline of Belief, Rituals of Release, and Naming the Invisible. Each one is rooted in stories from actual sessions, with a focus on what people need to move forward when the old ways stop working.
