Yes, I get it totally. Eastern philosophy is very popular with therapists it seems. Letting things go, mindfulness, being in the moment, meditation...I've been working with these concepts for decades and while they can be helpful with some parts of my life I never have understood how people in western culture can actually live a lifetime by using such concepts. I'm still struggling with it...I do believe there's value there, but like you, I get stuck in the real-life application.
