I'm failing to express an emotion in Japanese that one feels after something emotionally unnerving that had been intensifying was then suddenly released, primarily due to being resolved by the subject. I was thinking of 「圧力解放」 but it feels like a direct translation from English and might not be understood by native speakers. Is there a better word or expression for that?
I also found a question about 「解き放つ」 that might be one showing the right expression but I'm not sure.
To me, who is a Japanese-speaker, 「圧力開放{あつりょくかいほう}」 is not a word describing a human emotion. It is only a technical term meaning "pressure release". I would not use it myself, but you are not me.
Here are some phrases that could be used naturally with Japanese-speakers.

There should be more, but I should not be working too hard during the Golden Week.
