We are living through a very stressful time.  It is unknown how long we will be affected by the Coronavirus.  Racial injustice and the subsequent riots are deeply disturbing.  Many are very concerned about the upcoming elections.  Wildfires burn across the West.  I am seeing the fallout from all of this in my practice.  Many of my patients are in a state of emotional distress which is manifesting as anxiety, depression, irritability, rage, crying for no reason and sleep disturbances. 

Fortunately, there are tools to deal with these emotions.  One wonderful option that my patients have been raving about is an online Mindfulness course offered by local counselor Nichole Moorman.  Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is an evidence based secular method for reducing stress, anxiety, depression and pain.  See her website for a list of offerings and more information!  https://nicholemoorman.offeringtree.com/offerings
