Two Protectors, One Heart
A 7-Day Journey with Frozen Ross & Anxiety Ross
Inside each of us are parts that work tirelessly to keep us safe. Frozen Ross protects by going still and shutting down when life feels too much.
Anxiety Self-Talk Ross protects by worrying, scanning, and rehearsing what might go wrong.

You will receive short daily audios, a longer guided meditation, and a printable booklet.

About Frozen Ross & Anxiety Self-Talk Ross
Frozen Ross — The Firefighter
Frozen Ross is the part of you that carries the chronic freeze response: heaviness, stillness, shutdown, and the sense of being stuck.
He often appears in the morning or in times of overwhelm. Instead of moving or acting, he protects by turning down sensation and energy.
In IFS terms, he is a firefighter protector, stepping in to stop you from being flooded.
Anxiety Self-Talk Ross — The Manager
Anxiety Self-Talk Ross is the part of you that worries, scans, and rehearses what might go wrong.
He tries to protect by thinking ahead, staying alert, and keeping you prepared. In IFS terms, he is a manager protector,
working hard to prevent danger and avoid emotional overwhelm.
This mini-course does not try to get rid of either part. Instead, it helps you listen to them, appreciate them, and gently introduce
a calmer Self who can hold them both.
Daily Audio Practices (7 Tracks)
You can listen to one track each day, or repeat any track that feels especially helpful.
