Hey friend.
Are you an anxious soul who’s hell-bent on making your anxiety disappear? If you’re nodding your head yes, this episode is for you.
Today, I’m joined by Dr. David Rosmarin — Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, program director at McLean Hospital, and founder of the Center for Anxiety. He’s a clinical psychologist, scientist, author, educator, and keynote speaker who’s been featured everywhere from Good Morning America to TED.com. And his message is powerful: Anxiety isn’t something to get rid of — it’s something to understand, and even embrace.
In today’s conversation, we’re talking about...
- The two different types of anxiety and how to know which one you’re experiencing.
- Why so many people are struggling with anxiety (and why we’ve become so afraid of our anxious feelings).
- Why trying to get rid of anxiety can keep you stuck — and what to do instead.
- Why the mental health system may be over-diagnosing people.
- The role uncertainty plays in anxiety, and how avoidance makes it worse.
- The four-step process that'll help you thrive with anxiety.
- How to support a child who may be struggling, too.
...and so much more!
If this episode gives you even a small burst of hope, would you take a second to share it with another anxious soul who might need to hear it too?
