Is Anxiety Your Secret Weapon?
What if anxiety isn't the enemy but the edge you've been missing?
Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with clinical psychologist, professor, and author Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary to challenge one of the most widespread misconceptions in modern parenting: that anxiety is something to be eliminated. It isn't. And understanding why could change how you show up for yourself and your kids.
Dr. Dennis-Tiwary unpacks the surprising science and history behind anxiety, from its ancient roots to how modern psychiatry transformed a normal human emotion into a medical diagnosis, and why that shift has made things harder for all of us.
What you'll learn:
-
Why anxiety is actually a superpower (backed by dopamine and oxytocin science)
-
The parenting mistake that makes kids' anxiety worse, and what to do instead
-
Why "fixing" your child's feelings is the one thing you should stop doing today
Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary has published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and is the author of Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Good for You (Even Though It Feels Bad).
