Isn't the "problem of" letting go - or, the restraints one meets when
attempting to let go, and even when trying to facilitate (=let go) other
people's letting go - aren't they all just those restraints which one
bears in oneself?

Certainly -- so the good news is all you have to do is change your mind.
The bad news is -- changing your mind is often a hard, hard thing to do.
However, we really don't have any choice. One of these days, regardless of
our will or intent, the Ruler of the Universe will utter that famous
Schwartznager line, "I let him go."  In the interim we seem to enjoy
shooting ourselves in the foot all the while agonizing over the loss of
something we never truly had to begin with. Go figure.
