This guest says you can thrive with anxiety. And the trick is learning to get comfortable with discomfort.

Dr. David H. Rosmarin is an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, a program director at McLean Hospital, and founder of Center for Anxiety, which services over 1,000 patients/year in multiple states. His most recent book is Thriving with Anxiety: 9 Tools to Make Your Anxiety Work for You.

In this episode we talk about:

• The difference between anxiety and stress
• How anxiety and distress can, paradoxically, improve our relationships with ourselves and others
• Why he’s a proponent of exposure therapy
• How anxiety can be transmuted into love
• Why we often use anger to cover up fear and anxiety
• And the spiritual benefit of thinking the worst
