0:00.0	We often feel like we are living in an overwhelming age of anxiety. But the problem isn't having
0:06.8	too much anxiety. It's that we don't know well enough how to feel anxious and to put anxiety to
0:13.4	good use. We have learned to mistake even healthy anxiety for a danger that we use to protect ourselves from or a disease to prevent and
0:26.5	eradicate at all cost. But this view unintentionally intensifies anxiety even further and prevents us
0:35.3	from seeing the truth. Anxiety isn't a failure, it isn't a malfunction.
0:40.1	It's a triumph of evolution helping us imagine and plan for the uncertainty of the future.
0:48.6	All the while, it's making us more persistent, more creative, and more socially connected.
0:55.4	My guest today, Tracy Dennis Tuari, is the author of Future Tense.
1:00.2	And in her new book, she shows why we all need this difficult emotion, where we went wrong,
1:08.5	and how we can flip the script and use anxiety to the advantage that it evolved to be.
1:16.9	Mental health is not an absence of anxiety.
1:20.7	Mental health is the ability to be anxious in ways that help us, to help us work with and through anxiety when it's not helping us
1:32.2	and to be curious enough about anxiety to learn to know the difference. This is The Lindsay
1:39.4	Elmore Show. Welcome to The Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast for people who deserve to be healthy with honest, open, and enlightening conversations with doctors, thought leaders, creatives, and spiritual gurus.
1:54.3	You'll walk away with simple and tangible tips and tricks that allow you to live your healthiest life so you can pursue your
2:03.4	dreams, overcome obstacles, and leave your mark. Tracy Dennis Tuari is the author of the book
2:12.3	Future Tense, Why Anxiety is Good for You, even though it feels bad. She is a professor of psychology and
2:21.7	neuroscience and the director of the Emotional Regulation Lab at the City University of New York.
2:28.8	She is also the founder and CSO of Wise Therapeutics, where she translates neuroscience and cognitive therapy techniques
2:38.3	into gamified, clinically validated digital therapeutics for mental health. She has published
