How to Find a Therapist in Des Moines, Iowa
The famous Raygun t-shirt for Des Moines says “Des Moines, Hell Yes!” But my clients tell me that when it comes to finding a therapist here it’s more like “Des Moines, HELP Yes!” The difficulty of finding a therapist in Des Moines is similar to the difficulty of finding someone in any small to midsize city.
These are anxious times. We are feeling a new kind of collective anxiety and within that resides all our individual anxieties. It has often been said that the root of anxiety is fear and that’s easy to see right now. The sense of danger feels existential, cutting right to the heart of life itself.
We’re well into fall now…the trees are losing their leaves, the wind is blowing and it’s time to cozy up. Fall is a beautiful time and a season of letting go but it can also be a time of restlessness. School and work are in full swing and everyone senses the holidays coming.
Are you wondering if mindfulness and meditation really help with anxiety? The short answer is, yes. There’s now a solid body of research demonstrating the effectiveness of mindfulness and meditation techniques for anxiety.
There are many very specific techniques from mindfulness and meditation that can help calm anxiety and can help you cope even when anxiety is high.
