Rachel Kim is a clinical psychologist, attachment researcher, and author based in Seattle, Washington. With over 14 years of experience helping people heal from loss, transition through change, and rebuild after letting go, she has coached thousands of individuals through the letting go process in personal, professional, and relational contexts.
Kim is the creator of the RELEASE Framework, which has been adopted by therapy practices, coaching organizations, and personal development programs worldwide. She holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Washington and has published over 30 peer-reviewed papers on attachment, letting go, and psychological flexibility.
Her approach to letting go is refreshingly honest: no forced forgiveness, no "just move on" platitudes, no toxic positivity. Just the science of releasing what doesn't serve you.
