What if anxiety wasn’t the enemy—but a powerful ally?
Join David Rosmarin, PhD, ABPP, Harvard-affiliated psychologist and founder of the Center for Anxiety, for this free, 60-minute session exploring how to embrace anxiety, use it productively, and stop the spiral that keeps us stuck.
Why This Training Matters
Nearly one-third of Americans struggle with anxiety—but our instinct to fight or avoid it often makes it worse.
