What if anxiety isn’t something we need to get rid of, but something we can learn to thrive with?

In this episode, Dr. David Rosmarin—associate professor at Harvard Medical School, program director at McLean Hospital, and author of Thriving with Anxiety—offers a hopeful and practical reframe of how we understand and respond to anxiety.

Dr. Rosmarin shares his four-step approach for dealing with anxiety, and how journaling can support each stage. From naming what you’re afraid of to learning how to release what’s outside your control, this conversation is a compassionate and practical look at working with anxiety, not against it.
