Summary

This episode is brought to you by LMNT and JoyMode.
 
When was the last time you felt the grip of anxiety, with your stomach in knots and your mind racing? You're not alone. In this episode, I have the pleasure of hosting Dr. David Rosmarin, PhD, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, a program director at McLean Hospital, and founder of Center for Anxiety. We dive deep into the intricacies of anxiety, its triggers, and its profound influence on our physical and mental resilience.
 
You will learn how to use anxiety as a tool to be more self-aware, self-accepting, and resilient, understand and relate to others, have more emotional intimacy, be more accepting of life, push forward to accomplish what you really want. Dr. Rosmarin's constructive, compassionate, and evidence-based approach will not rid you of your anxiety. Instead, it will empower you to reach your fullest potential because of it.
 
Through his work as a clinical psychologist, scientist, educator and author, Dr. Rosmarin has helped thousands of patients and organizations to live happier and more productive lives. His most recent book is Thriving with Anxiety: 9 Tools to Make Your Anxiety Work for You.
