Can Anxiety Be a Gift? | Dr. David Rosmarin | Podcast Interview Dan Harris from Ten Percent Happier

Dr. David Rosmarin says you can thrive with anxiety. And the trick is learning to get comfortable with discomfort. 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
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.

ABOUT THE TEN PERCENT HAPPIER PODCAST
Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics. On other episodes, it’s science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. Dan's approach is seemingly modest, but secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time.

Wonderful, thank you

[@TenPercentHappier]

Our pleasure!

[@maryharpley294]

My decades long anxiety and panic disorder has kept me jobless and unable to drive so it is not a gift

[@TenPercentHappier]

Our stories help each other. Thank you for sharing.

[@CreativeArtandEnergy]

I wonder how this applies to someone if they've had general anxiety and c-ptsd. It has been hard growing up with it since kindergarten. But I always try to find purpose in life beyond anxiety.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for listening, we're all on this learning journey together!

[@hmmcinerney]

Can I return this ‘gift’?

[@TenPercentHappier]

We feel you! Thanks for listening.
