Closing out our rest board for the month, and what a sweet collection of answers it turned into. 🌧️

Knitting. Rainy days with a good book. Reggae. ASMR. Gardening. Embroidery. Stories under a blanket until you fall asleep.

No two answers looked alike, and that's the whole point. Rest isn't one formula you're supposed to follow. It's whatever actually fills you back up, even if it looks nothing like what fills up the person next to you. Sometimes rest looks like your hands being busy while your mind gets to wander. Sometimes it's noise (reggae) and sometimes it's near-silence (ASMR). Sometimes it's a flower growing slow in the dirt.

There's no wrong way to rest. There's only the way that actually works for you.

Thank you to everyone who added a cloud this month. Our board is changing soon, here's a hint: not every summer feels easy, and we want to talk about that too. 🌻

This past weekend our practice owner Kristi had the chance to experience a TRE class firsthand with Discovering Peace Within at Discovering Peace Within, and she came back glowing.

TRE, or Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises, is a simple, body-based practice that helps release tension stored in the nervous system, reduce reactivity to stress, and leave you feeling more calm and grounded, both during the session and long after you leave. Once you learn it, it becomes a tool you can return to at home whenever life feels like too much.

We love sharing resources in our community that we genuinely believe in, and this is one of them.

Ashley's next TRE class is coming up on Saturday, July 25th from 9:00 to 10:30 AM at Abundance Wellness Center here in Tallahassee. She keeps the class intentionally small, just 12 participants, so everyone has plenty of space to fully experience the practice. Whether it would be your first time or you've tried TRE before, you are welcome.

One year ago Carrie, LCSW joined the Damron Counseling team, and we honestly cannot imagine this practice without her.

In the past year Carrie has shown up with the kind of consistency and reliability that makes everything around her feel steadier. Her warmth is genuine, her kindness is the kind that people actually feel, and the way she cares for her clients and her colleagues alike is something we don't take for granted for a single second.

She is the kind of clinician who makes the whole team better just by being here.

Carrie, thank you for a year of showing up so fully and so genuinely. We are so glad you are part of this team and we are celebrating you today!!

So grateful you're here! This team is better because you're in it.

She provides caring, structured support with a particular focus on traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity, and emotional regulation.

We are grateful to have her here.

I found this on a walk this week, one of those slow ones without a destination or a podcast. Just moving and looking.

A leaf in the shape of a heart, a little chewed through, resting on an old board in the sun.
We've been talking this month about the different kinds of rest we need. Mental rest is one of them, and for me that sometimes looks like stepping outside and letting my eyes land on something other than a screen.

I almost walked past this. I'm glad I didn't.

Therapists sometimes call these moments glimmers: small things that catch the light just right and remind your nervous system that the world is still full of good things. You don't have to go looking for them. You just have to slow down enough to see them.

What's been catching your eye lately?

We'vr updated the waiting room bulletin board for June.

This month we're sitting with something that sounds simple but runs a lot deeper than most of us realize: rest.

Not just sleep. Not just a day off. Rest has more dimensions than we tend to give it credit for, and a lot of us are running on empty in ways we haven't even named yet.

All month we'll be exploring the seven types of rest, what they are, why they matter, and how to start noticing which ones you might be missing.
More soon. For now, we hope your June is starting gently.

Today was a reminder that healing isn’t just about surviving hard things.
Sometimes it’s about learning to feel celebrated.

We poured concrete beside tiny handprints, flowers planted, and words of hope buried beneath the foundation of this space. A reminder that even wounded parts deserve sunlight, safety, community, and love.

Radiate. 🌼

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, grandmothers, bonus moms, caregivers, and mother figures holding so much together behind the scenes. 🤍

To the ones showing up exhausted, healing while parenting, learning as you go, breaking cycles, comforting tears, packing lunches, managing schedules, and loving deeply even on the hard days — we see you.

Motherhood is not about perfection.
It’s about presence, repair, resilience, and love.

Today, we hope you feel cared for too. 🌿
