Rest should feel nourishing — but for many of us, slowing down brings guilt, anxiety, or a sense of losing control. This blog explores why rest feels “wrong” when you need it most, through the lens of IFS and nervous system healing. You’ll learn how old roles, productivity conditioning, and protector parts shape your resistance to rest, and how to gently build a more trusting, spacious relationship with yourself.

We all experience moments when an old version of ourselves no longer fits. These threshold times can feel disorienting, but they’re also invitations into deeper Self-leadership. Learn the signs you’re outgrowing an old identity and how to move through the in-between with clarity, compassion, and IFS-informed support.
