Author of Thriving with Anxiety, Dr. Rosmarin’s constructive, compassionate, and evidence-based approach will not make you less anxious. Instead, it will empower you to use anxiety to thrive.

You will learn:

  • To rethink anxiety from being a “disease” to being a normal human emotion;
  • How to use anxiety to increase our self-compassion;
  • How to harness the power of anxiety to enhance emotional intimacy and 
  • How can anxiety help us accomplish what we truly want in life?
