AGLOW Counseling

AGLOW Counseling AGLOW is a global hub for therapists and the world. Led by trauma expert Stacy Ruse, LPC, RYT, providing Self-led courses, trainings, and consultations.

Specializing in EMDR, IFS, Yoga, & Transpersonal therapies to inspire. Welcome to Aglow Counseling, where wisdom meets healing, and transformation takes center stage. Formerly at the helm of Stacy Ruse Counseling from 2013 to 2022, also known as Stacy Ruse Counseling Group, I embarked on a new journey that culminated in the merger with Mindfully in 2022. Now, with Aglow Counseling, my focus is on providing specialized therapist training and consultation, emphasizing integrative EMDR and IFS therapies infused with a Transpersonal twist. At Aglow Counseling, we believe in the innate wisdom within each individual. By tapping into your highest Self, you can access an expansive, loving, and healing energy that guides you through the challenges of being human. Life can be tough, and I am inspired to guide and support healers in becoming their best selves in life, work, and play. In my consultation services, I offer a sacred space for therapists and healers to be truly seen and heard without judgment or preconceptions. It's a space where you can communicate freely, openly, authentically, and be radically your Soul-Full Self. We recognize the vulnerability we all share to trauma and the overwhelming, fast-paced, and often invalidating nature of the world. Many of us seek to slow down, deepen our experiences, and find more meaning in our lives. So, at Aglow Counseling, we invite you and your clients to SHINE BRIGHT as you were meant to! With warmth and dedication,

I've created a guided meditation inspired by Sally Kempton that focuses on the Hamsa symbol and heart-opening self-connection.

Together, we'll move through mindfulness, breath awareness, and sound repetition to help you connect with your true essence beyond ego and roles.

We'll close with a heart-opening practice and a mantra you can carry with you throughout your day 🙏

When we combine Yoga Nidra with IFS-inspired parts work, something beautiful happens.

This powerful meditation practice promotes profound relaxation and healing—and when integrated with parts work, it significantly enhances connection to Self, fosters acceptance, encourages inner collaboration, and helps liberate protectors from extreme roles.

In my latest blog, I explore the evidence base for Yoga Nidra, its alignment with the principles of IFS-informed parts work, and how both contribute to trauma-informed healing.

EMDR + the lens of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model = profound healing, even with the most complex cases.

When you combine EMDR's ability to rapidly process trauma with the unique capacity of parts work to establish safety and overcome stuck points, you can offer transformative healing that goes deeper than either approach alone.

This one-of-a-kind course provides the detailed roadmap you need to fully integrate these evidence-based treatments—whether you're trained in one, both, or neither.

You'll get 10 on-demand modules, real client demonstrations, experiential exercises, PDF resources, and a free bonus workshop on trauma-focused tapping.

"Therapy should not be theory-driven, but relationship-driven."

This is everything.

Our clients don't heal because we applied the perfect protocol. They heal because we showed up fully present, created a safe space, and offered a relationship they could use for their own growth.

The theories and tools matter—but the relationship is what makes transformation possible.

If you've been curious about how to weave parts work into your EMDR practice—or how to bring EMDR's processing power into your parts work sessions—this is for you 🌀

Whether you're new to the lens of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model or a seasoned practitioner looking for a refresher, this crash course is designed for you.

In just one day, I'll transform the "whats and whys" of this approach into clear, logical explanations that connect directly to the challenges your clients face. Even better—I'll bring the "hows" within your reach with practical strategies you can use immediately.

You'll walk away with a complete toolkit, full understanding of protectors and exiles, unblending techniques, unburdening practices, and so much more.

Easy enough for beginners, rich enough to reinvigorate experienced practitioners:

For the seasoned therapists and healers who are ready to go deeper...

Soul-full Consultation offers something beyond traditional case review. These sessions invite exploration into Self-to-Self attunement, intuitive clinical wisdom, embodied presence, transpersonal awareness, archetypal energies, legacy burdens, ancestral healing, and soul-path mentoring.

This is consultation for practitioners who understand that our work is both clinical and sacred—and who want to integrate both dimensions with greater depth and intention 🕊️

In Internal Family Systems-inspired therapy, Self-energy isn't just important—it's indispensable.

Our ability to engage with clients from a place of calm, compassion, and curiosity shapes the entire therapeutic experience. And this isn't just crucial at the beginning of therapy—it's essential throughout every single stage of healing.

In my latest blog, I explore how Self-energy influences the work from first session to last, and why cultivating it in ourselves as therapists is just as important as helping clients access it.

Here's the challenge I hear from therapists all the time: "I got trained in EMDR, but when I tried to use it with real clients, I felt completely lost."

Sound familiar?

That's exactly why I created this immersion course—to bridge the gap between training and confident, real-world application.

Join me and twelve leading EMDR innovators as we show you how to refine and customize the model for trauma, grief, dissociation, addiction, eating disorders, neurodivergent clients, racial trauma, and more.

Through candid interviews, detailed instruction, and practical handouts, you'll get the tools to apply EMDR to your actual cases—incorporating Somatic Therapy, Polyvagal approaches, and parts work along the way 🧭

"Painful feelings are, by their very nature, temporary. They will weaken over time as long as we don't prolong or amplify them through resistance or avoidance. The only way to eventually free ourselves from debilitating pain, therefore, is to be with it as it is. The only way out is through." — Kristin Neff

This wisdom sits at the heart of trauma healing: we don't bypass the pain—we create space to be with it, exactly as it is.

When we stop resisting, something shifts. The pain becomes workable. Healing becomes possible.
