The Power of Presence: Bridging Science and Spirituality for a Holistic Approach

Today we’re diving into a fascinating conversation with Debra Doerksen, a spiritual medium and author. In this episode, we explore the powerful intersection of anxiety, spirituality, and healing. Debra will bring her wisdom on the energetic side of our existence, showing how spirituality can be a key piece in managing anxiety. Together, we’ll talk about the importance of a holistic approach to healing—one that brings together the mind, body, and spirit—and the critical roles of curiosity, connection, and community in navigating anxiety. It’s an open, honest, and deeply insightful conversation you won’t want to miss! Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions. PS.
