Nourish Psychiatry

Once upon a time, every nurse you saw in the hospital was dressed in pure white from head to toe a crisp uniform, a spotless cap, and shining white shoes.

Why white?
Because white was more than just a color.
🤍 It symbolized purity of heart in serving others.
🤍 It represented cleanliness and discipline in patient care.
🤍 It became the mark of a nurse’s dedication and sacrifice.

Many of our senior nurses still remember the strict rules: uniforms must be spotless, shoes polished until they gleamed. Some even recall being graded on the neatness of their whites! It wasn’t just about appearance it was about showing patients and families:
➡️ “You are safe with me. I will care for you with clean hands and a pure heart.”

Today, scrubs of every color fill our wards, designed for practicality and comfort. But whenever we see a nurse in white, it stirs something deep it reminds us of the roots of our profession, the nurses who walked before us, and the timeless values we carry forward.

To every nurse who once wore the white dress and shoes… and to every nurse who carries that same spirit in scrubs today… 💙
Thank you for keeping the heart of nursing alive.

Agreed

When someone is drowning, that’s not the time to teach them how to swim.

Sometimes people don’t need advice.
They don’t need a lesson.
They don’t need you to explain how they ended up in the water.

They need you to reach out your hand.
They need to know someone sees them, that someone cares enough to pull them out first.

You can teach later.
You can talk about how to stay afloat once they’re breathing again.
But in the middle of the storm?
What they need most is compassion, not correction.

Because when a person is fighting just to keep their head above water,
your empathy might be the only thing that saves them.

I noticed narcissists love to kick people out of their house or property.

It’s one of their go-to power moves — a cruel way to remind you that they hold control over the environment, the situation, and even your emotional stability. It’s never about the space itself; it’s about domination. They thrive on that moment when they can say, “Get out,” and watch you crumble, knowing they’ve successfully triggered your fear, confusion, and insecurity.

They don’t do it because you’ve actually done something unforgivable. They do it because they can. Because it feeds their ego to see you lose your grounding. To them, it’s not a home — it’s a stage, and you’re just a character they can remove whenever you stop playing your assigned role.

The truth is, narcissists use access and comfort as weapons. They’ll invite you in, make you feel welcome, make you feel like part of their world — and then, the moment you show independence, speak up, or stop feeding their ego, they’ll snatch it all away. It’s their twisted way of showing you that your safety depends on their approval.

And when you finally leave, they’ll twist the narrative — telling everyone that you were disrespectful, you walked out, or you didn’t appreciate them. They play the victim while you’re left trying to process the emotional storm they caused.

But what they’ll never admit is this: kicking you out isn’t a sign of strength — it’s proof of their weakness. Because real strength doesn’t need to control, manipulate, or humiliate. Real strength communicates, respects, and protects. Narcissists only know power through fear, not love.

I concur!

This is 💯

I'm a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Over 50% of teens drop out of therapy before completing treatment. Most parents bring their teenagers to me frustrated: "They won't talk. They sit there with their arms crossed. They say nothing's wrong." The parents assume their teen is being defiant or stub...

This is vital and congrats!

Soon, victims of domestic abuse will have access to every vital service they need under one roof. The Family Peace Center offers a safe, supportive space for survivors of domestic violence and their children. And instead of navigating a maze of agencies across the city, families can access counseling, legal assistance, medical care, law enforcement support, and advocacy in one secure, trauma-informed location. This coordinated approach reduces barriers, minimizes re-traumatization, and helps survivors rebuild their lives with dignity. Beyond crisis care, this Family Peace Center will promote long-term stability by connecting families to housing, job resources, and emotional healing. It’s not just a shelter—it’s a path to hope, safety, and lasting peace.

I support this behavior change.

The next time you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or procrastinating…

Buy a can of Goya beans.

Sounds ridiculous, right?

That’s what I thought too — until I heard this story from a business mentor I respect.

He was working with a business owner who just couldn’t move forward.

Stuck in his head. Overthinking everything.

He knew what needed to be done… but wasn’t doing any of it.

So the mentor gave him one task:

“Go to the store and buy a can of Goya beans.”

The guy said, “Wait… what? Why?”

And the mentor replied:

“No questions. Just go. Buy the beans. Take a picture. Send it to me.”

So he did. Still confused.

Goes to the store, grabs a random can of Goya beans, comes home, snaps a pic, sends it.

The mentor calls and says:

“Perfect. Now you get it.”

He’s like, “Get what?”

And the mentor says:

“It’s not about the beans. It’s about movement. It’s about breaking the cycle of inaction. You don’t need the perfect next step. You just need a next step.”

Then he told him:

“Keep that can of Goya beans on your desk. Every time you feel stuck…

Every time you want to overthink instead of act…

Look at that can and remember:

GOYA = Get Off Your Ass.”

I love that.

Because as business owners, we don’t always need more strategy.

Sometimes we just need to move.

Even if it starts with a can of beans.
