Making Anxiety Work for You

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.

Dr. Rosmarin offers a science-backed approach that helps people understand anxiety as a normal, even helpful, human experience.

By reframing anxiety through the lens of acceptance and action, participants will learn to harness its energy to enhance performance, creativity, and resilience.

  • The difference between stress, anxiety, and anxiety disorders

  • Practical strategies to embrace—not avoid—anxiety

  • How to support others through panic, intrusive thoughts, and uncertainty

  • When to seek professional help—and what effective treatment looks like
