You’ll learn how to connect with parts of yourself that carry shame or comparison, listen to their stories, and invite a new way of relating — with kindness rather than judgment. ✨ What you’ll experience in this video: • A grounding and centering opening • Gentle guidance for meeting shame and comparison • Tools for cultivating compassion and Self-energy • A practice of inner connection, healing, and release This practice is suitable for anyone seeking personal growth, healing, and deeper self-compassion. Bring an open heart and the willingness to meet yourself where you are, and join me.

"I choose to directly perceive my own inner beauty, today and from this day forward, with love and reverence." — Inspired by Alana Fairchild Join me, Stacy Ruse, LPC, in a transformative practice that invites you to experience your true Self—beyond mere reflection, beyond narratives, beyond others' projections—by creating a sacred space for inner witnessing. This practice reclaims power, dissolves false reflections, and nourishes radical Self-love and creative flow. For Therapists: Feel free to integrate this practice and the accompanying script with your clients. It seamlessly fits into parts work, resourcing, or integration phases, especially when clients struggle with over-identification with societal roles, approval-seeking protectors, or internalized criticism. It enhances Self-to-Self connection, fortifies internal boundaries against projection and internalized oppression, and promotes deep acceptance. This practice is particularly beneficial for those healing from enmeshment, relational trauma, or grappling with perfectionism or approval-seeking tendencies. Whether you're a therapist, seeker, or soul on a healing path, this practice is for you. Let's begin.

Join me, Stacy Ruse, LPC, as we explore a powerful blend of Internal Family Systems and somatic awareness in this grounding practice. This practice is a gentle invitation to come home to your Self—the part of you that is calm, curious, compassionate, and connected. We'll begin by taking a few deep breaths, settling into the present moment. Then, I'll guide you through a series of self-reflective and somatic exploration exercises to help you connect with the different parts of yourself. As we move through the practice, trust your body's wisdom and allow any sensations, emotions, or insights to arise. Offer each part of yourself the same kindness and compassion you would to a dear friend. By the end, you may feel more integrated, grounded, and reconnected to your authentic self. Consider journaling or reflecting afterward, if that feels supportive. Remember, you are not your parts—you are the Self that holds them all with love. Whether you're a therapist, seeker, or soul on a healing path, this practice is for you. Let's begin.

Join me, Stacy Ruse, LPC, as we explore this nervous system-regulating, self-care practice adapted from the work of Dr. Kate Truitt. We'll engage in a series of "Havening" techniques to calm the nervous system and promote a sense of safety and relaxation. I'll invite you to set an intention for the emotional state you'd like to cultivate, then we'll begin moving through each step: • Face Havening: Gently stroke your forehead outward towards your temples. • Palm Havening: Rub your palms together in a smooth, circular motion. • Arm Havening: Cross your arms and stroke from your shoulders to your elbows. As you move through these steps, feel free to incorporate additional relaxation tools, such as humming or singing, visualizing a peaceful place, or practicing deep rhythmic breathing. Finally, we'll conclude with Ear Havening—a soothing ear massage for vagal toning, where you gently massage the outer edges of your ears, moving from the top down to the lobes. Remember, you can use these self-Havening practices anytime you need grounding, relaxation, or nervous system regulation, adjusting the motions and timing for what you need in the moment. Let's take a few moments to pause, reset, and restore together.

Join me, Stacy Ruse, in this guided, IFS-informed Yoga Nidra meditation and practice of conscious rest. We'll gently invite ourselves to relax, allowing our bodies and minds to drift into a nourishing space of safety and restoration. Settle into a comfortable position, using props as needed.
