unbottling
Letting it out
Unbottling is the act of releasing something that has been contained or suppressed.
Literally, it means removing contents from a bottle.
Figuratively, it describes letting out emotions, thoughts, or energy that have been held back: After years of silence, she finally started unbottling her frustrations.
The image suggests pressure building until release becomes necessary.
