But I wouldn't want someone who's coming in with a 7, 8, or 9 where it's actually clinical, it's interfering with their lives, to just use a self-help approach. I'd probably want them to get some sort of therapy and or meds.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't blame you. You've been taught since birth that something's wrong with you if you're anxious. You've been taught by your parents. You've been taught that by your teachers. You've been taught that by society. You've seen medication advertisements on television.

For years and years and years, that message was pounded into you that something is clinically, emotionally, maybe even morally wrong with you. This is a failing of your life if you feel anxious. So yeah, I don't blame you for... Having heard this for the first time for barely an hour, that it's not penetrating, yeah, I don't blame you one bit. Wow.

Oh my God, so many ways. You know, I didn't always talk about it. When I got my job at Harvard Medical School, it's not the kind of thing that you speak about, right? Like you're a professor and you stand up and you have your slides and you have your figures and your facts and your data and you don't have your personal experience. Like, no, that would be like beneath everything.

You know, the dignity of someone within the academy. And then, like I said, over COVID, it really changed for me because aside for the fact that I was just dealing with my own anxiety, I actually saw in my data that the patients who were coming to our programs who had clinical anxiety and got treatment before March 2020 died. did better throughout the rest of the pandemic.

They did not have an increase, a substantial increase in anxiety. And then I was like, hold on, I'm going about this wrong. I'm treating all anxiety like it's clinical. That's not true. David, you have anxiety too. Embrace it. I started to talk to my wife about it, have some real conversations about my fear of failure.

She did something like, well, she actually didn't say that. She didn't even say, I told you so. She didn't have to. What did she say? Yeah, she did say, I know, but she held me through it and it made us closer. It created more emotional depth in our connection.
