Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. So just this morning, literally a couple hours ago, before I walked into the studio, sat down in this chair and am talking to you now, I get this text from one of my close college friends. And it said, Mel, I really need some help. Do you have five minutes? And she was texting me because she was looking for recommendations on what to do because her daughter's anxiety, it is through the roof. And you know what? I'm not surprised because I'm seeing so many people in my life. I'm seeing so many emails coming into the inbox at melrobbins.com, comments, DMs about this exact same topic. And the thing that was kind of crazy about today is that she texts me this question about anxiety, looking for resources. Where do I start? How do I help this person I care about? And do you know what you and I are talking about? Literally in a matter of a minute, we are sitting down with one of the world's leading anxiety experts from Harvard University.
He's the founder of the Center for Anxiety. I mean, what are the odds? Don't you just love it when life confirms the very thing you're about to do? It's like a little sign, okay, you're on the right track, just keep going. And as somebody who struggled with anxiety for decades, and who has had kids who have struggled with anxiety, here's what I know. It can be so scary when it's happening to you or to somebody that you love, but I also want you to know something. You have within you the capacity to face whatever is scaring you. And this conversation needs to happen right now. And I'm so glad that you're here for it because Dr. David Ross-Marin is about to flip everything that you and I know on its head about anxiety.

And by the end of this episode, You're going to know exactly what anxiety is and what it isn't. You're going to understand the things that you're probably doing that are making it worse for you or the person that you care about. You're going to have a whole new way to look at this and a four-step approach that's going to work. And this is exactly what you need to help somebody who's struggling with anxiety. And the good news is, Dr. Ross Marin says, if you feel trapped by anxiety or you've been trying to outrun it or out-drink it or out-sleep it or whatever...
