About this episode

If you struggle with anxiety, this episode will change your life. 

In today’s conversation, Mel sits down with Harvard Medical School psychologist and world-renowned anxiety expert Dr. David Rosmarin — and he’s about to flip everything you think you know about anxiety on its head. 

By the end of this episode, you are going to know exactly what anxiety is, the things you’re doing that are making it worse, and how you can look at it in a whole new way. 

You’ll also learn exactly how to help somebody who is struggling with it. 

If you feel trapped by anxiety, or you've been trying to outrun it, what Dr. Rosmarin is about to share will set you free. He’s here to share a simple way to stop spiraling thoughts, find clarity, and finally feel in control. 

Dr. Rosmarin is one of the world’s leading experts on anxiety and the founder of The Center for Anxiety. He’s an associate professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Spirituality and Mental Health Program at McLean Hospital, one of the top psychiatric hospitals in the world. 

Whether your anxiety is keeping you up at night, holding you back at work, making parenting harder, or bringing life in general to a grinding halt, this episode will give you the tools — and the hope — you’ve been looking for.
