Stranded in Sicily as Mount Etna erupts... 🌋

Well... this wasn't quite how we imagined the end of our trip!

Tim surprised me with a few days away in Sicily, and we were due to be flying home today. Instead, Mount Etna had other plans.

We've spent today reorganising everything and driving north to Palermo, where we'll stay until it's safe to fly from this side of the island. Fingers crossed that'll be Thursday.

The reassuring part? The locals are incredibly calm about it. It's mostly us tourists looking a little bewildered!

Unfortunately, this does mean I'll need to postpone this Thursday's Somatic Sound Bath Reset. If you're booked on, don't worry - I'll be in touch with a new date, and there will be four alternative dates to choose from.

I'm really hoping the Summer Reset Retreat Day on Saturday can still go ahead as planned. It's fully booked, and I genuinely can't wait to welcome everyone for a day of slowing down, reconnecting and giving yourselves some well-deserved time to rest.

For now, I'm choosing to lean into what I often encourage others to practise... accepting what we can't control, taking things one step at a time, and making the best of the unexpected.

I'll keep you updated over on my Stories. Thank you, as always, for being such a kind and understanding community. I don't get many opportunities to travel abroad, so whilst this wasn't in the plan, we're going to make the most of this beautiful island for a little while longer.

Ps, this was us yesterday visiting Mt. Etna!

Big love,

Ruth 💜

Before your diary fills up... 💜 Take a look at your calendar for the next few months.

What's already in it?

Now ask yourself...

Are you in it too?

One thing that's made a huge difference to my own wellbeing is scheduling my self-care before the month begins. If I don't intentionally make space for it, something else always fills it.

That's why I've shared the rest of my Summer and September calendar today. I hope Reset makes your calendar!

Every date has been created with intention, following the rhythm of the seasons and offering opportunities to pause, reconnect and recharge.

✨ Swipe through the calendars, save this post for later, and if one of these dates speaks to you, I'd love to welcome you to your chosen Reset.

You'll notice the 6 Week Steady Ground online programme restarts in September and I have two 12 Week Reset Wellbeing Programme openings starting then too.

Thank you always, for continuing to invest in your wellbeing through Reset. It keeps the dream alive.

Big love Ruth John ~ Integrative Therapist

Recently someone said to me, "That's ironic... the grief therapist taking antidepressants."

For a moment, I felt like I had to explain myself.

Then I remembered how many people are carrying a similar burden. I see it in my work every day.

People living with grief.

Trauma.

ADHD.

Chronic pain.

Autoimmune conditions.

Anxiety.

Disability.

Cancer.

Many already feel deeply responsible for getting well, outside of medication.

As though if they could just find the right answer, work a little harder on themselves or do more inner work, things would finally improve.

I understand that feeling.

I've also been told that if my nervous system was regulated enough, I wouldn't need medication for my ulcerative colitis anymore.

The reality is more nuanced than that.

I believe deeply in nervous system work. I've built my career around it.

I've seen it help people understand themselves with more compassion, process grief, reduce anxiety, improve relationships and feel happier in their lives.

But supporting a condition is not the same as curing a condition.

There is room for wellbeing practices.

There is room for medication.

There is room for healthcare professionals.

And there is room for people living well alongside conditions that may never completely go away.

If you've ever found yourself thinking:

"Surely I should be over this by now."

"Why can't I just move on?"

"Maybe I shouldn't need medication."

"Perhaps I'm not trying hard enough."

Please remember:

Common thoughts don't make them true.

And struggling isn't evidence that you're failing.

When you share your own story, even when you're helping others, there's always an extra layer of vulnerability.

I'm almost stumped on what to post after my grief reel reached so many people.

After years of sharing, it was this one that resonated. And I think I understand why.

When my mum died, just after her 45th birthday, I knew life had changed forever. Nothing anyone said could fix it. In fact, a lot of what people said made it worse. (Maybe that's a British thing 😂).

But finding people who understood? That helped.

It didn't take the grief away, but it made me feel less alone.

So, if you're new here, welcome. 💜

I'm Ruth. I'm an Integrative Therapist, founder of Reset Wellbeing™, and I've recently trained my dog, Clover, to become a Therapy Dog.

I support people navigating grief, trauma, difficult diagnoses, ADHD, burnout and those moments in life that leave you feeling like nobody quite gets it.

Truthfully, I created this work around my own life.

Growing up in a dysfunctional home, being a young carer, losing my mum, and living with lifelong invisible disabilities has changed how I see people and how I see life.

I don't think the hard things made me stronger.

But they did teach me that nobody should have to carry things alone.

So if part of my story resonates with you, you're not the odd one out.

And thank you for all the love on the last reel.

I needed that boost more than you know.

Love,

Ruth x

Things I said in the therapy room this week 💜

Different people. Yet so often, beneath the overthinking, perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety and self-doubt, I hear the same thing:

"I know why I do it, but I still can't seem to stop."

And that makes sense, because our patterns didn't appear out of nowhere.

At some point, they were the best way we knew to feel safe, accepted or in control. They helped us get through.

Nothing we do is random. But being unable to accept all the parts of us, is the very thing that keeps us stuck.

That's why I love this work so much.

Watching someone move from frustration and self-criticism to understanding and compassion never gets old.

So if you're tired of fighting yourself, perhaps this is your reminder:

🌿 You don't have to win a war against yourself to feel better

I have one 12 Week Reset Wellbeing Programme spot. You can also find four 1:1 spaces in July ready to book on my website.

Big Love,
