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?
