Morphology
destressification + routine
The phrase is compositionally built from a nominalized process 'destressification' (process of reducing stress) plus 'routine' (habitual set of actions), so its meaning — a routine for reducing stress — is directly derivable from the parts. Note that 'destressification' is a rare/neologistic form and may be unfamiliar, but if a learner knows the constituent morphemes/word, the overall MWE is predictable.
Etymology
The noun destressification routine comes from joining de-stress 'to remove stress' and routine 'a regular set of actions'. Imagine a small daily plan that gently takes away worry step by step, so it means 'a personal set of activities to relax'.
