PA week is a good time to reflect on what being a PA means to me.

PA training gives a broad medical foundation, and I’m grateful for that every day in psychiatric practice. Even though I knew I was drawn to mental health, every rotation mattered.

One of the things I value most about this profession is that the learning never really stops.

An extra shout out to the PAs and healthcare workers working in hospitals, emergency departments, urgent care settings, and throughout our healthcare system right now as Hurricane Isaias approaches the Florida panhandle. Thank you for showing up for your communities during a difficult and uncertain time.

Proud to be a PA, proud to work in psychiatry, and grateful to be part of a profession that continues to learn, adapt, and serve.

Pregnancy and infant loss can carry a kind of grief that is often deeply personal and sometimes very quiet.

There is no “right” timeline and no correct way to grieve.

For some, this month may bring up memories, anniversaries, fear, sadness, anger, or even conflicting emotions during another pregnancy or season of life.

We want to make space for all of it.

For the babies who are deeply loved.
For the pregnancies that were hoped for.
For the families who remember every day.
For the people whose grief may not always be visible.

You are allowed to carry both love and loss.

Educational and supportive content only. Social media is not therapy and does not replace individualized mental health or medical care.

Something new is coming to Still I Rise this fall.

If saying “no” comes with guilt…

If you find yourself over explaining, shutting down during conflict, or taking responsibility for everyone else’s emotions this group was created with those patterns in mind.

Beginning in November, we’ll be offering a 6 week virtual group focused on healthy boundaries, relationships, nervous system regulation, assertive communication, and learning how to protect your own needs without disconnecting from the people you care about.

Over the six weeks, participants will explore relationship patterns, practice tools for staying grounded during difficult conversations, learn clearer ways to communicate needs and boundaries, and build a plan for carrying those skills into everyday life.

Facilitated by Nemia Noble, MSW Graduate Intern, under the clinical supervision of Aleighsha Webber, LMHC.

More details are coming soon.

Some Physician Assistant content for your Tuesday!

A few more things to add: stay curious, ask questions, keep learning and be able to explain the why.

Never underestimate how much it matters for someone to feel HEARD.

Every rotation mattered. I may not be using my stethoscope every day, but my experiences in primary care, women’s health, emergency medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and everything in between gave me context. I still use now. Mental health does not exist separately from the rest of the body, and understanding other specialties helps me recognize when something may need a closer medical look, when a referral is appropriate, and how to better understand the whole person sitting in front of me.

Even if you think you know your specialty early, stay open to every rotation. The broader your foundation, the better prepared you are to care for people well.

Nervous system support is not about “fixing” everything with a deep breath.

And it is not the full treatment for trauma, anxiety, or ongoing mental health concerns.

But small regulation tools can help us notice what is happening in the body and create moments of steadiness in daily life.

A pause.
A breath.
A walk outside.
A meal.
A boundary.
A moment away from the screen.
A reminder that you are here, now.

These tools can help you stay more present, but therapy can help you understand the patterns underneath.

Why does your body stay on guard?
What keeps pulling you into survival mode?
What have you learned to carry, avoid, numb, or push through?

At Still I Rise Counseling, we believe daily tools can be supportive, but deeper healing often happens when you have space to process, understand, and work through what your nervous system has been responding to.
