David H. Rosmarin, Ph.D. | Anxiety Alchemy: The Hidden Power Within | Part 1 of 2
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
Tonight on Veritas our special guest is Dr. David Rosmarin. For as long as humans have existed, we have tried to understand the strange force inside us that tightens the chest, stirs the mind, and makes us question our place in the world. We call it anxiety, and most people treat it as a flaw to hide or a malfunction to correct. But what if we have misunderstood it from the very beginning? What if anxiety is not a sign of damage, but a signal that something inside us is trying to awaken? A message pointing toward what matters, what we cherish, what we fear losing, and what we might become if we stop fighting ourselves. Dr. Rosmarin has spent his career studying this misunderstood experience from every angle. He is a Harvard professor and a leading clinical psychologist who has worked with thousands of individuals across the world. His work asks a simple question that most of us never consider. What if anxiety is not here to break us, but to guide us? In his research, clinical cases, and spiritual insights, he reveals how anxiety can sharpen our courage, deepen our compassion, strengthen our relationships, and even open the door to a part of ourselves we rarely explore. We live in a time where people are told to eliminate discomfort at all costs. Yet Dr. Rosmarin challenges this idea by showing that the more we fight anxiety, the stronger it becomes. And the more we welcome it, the more it teaches us about our purpose. He shows that anxiety often appears in the very places where we carry the most meaning. It rises in the presence of love, responsibility, dreams, uncertainty, and identity. In other words, anxiety appears where we are most alive. Tonight, we explore the possibility that anxiety is not the villain. Our relationship with it is. This is a conversation about reclaiming the mind, rediscovering courage, understanding fear in a new way, and finding strength where most people only see weakness. It is a conversation about listening to the signals that rise inside us and allowing them to shape a deeper, more meaningful life. Tonight, Dr. David Rosmarin joins us to help us understand how anxiety can become one of the greatest forces for connection, clarity, and growth. This episode's cover art captures the idea behind "Anxiety Alchemy: The Hidden Power Within." The visual shows a cracked brain surrounded by gears and scattered fragments, illustrating the disruption and inner turmoil that anxiety can create. Out of these cracks, a golden branching filament extends toward a glowing crystal, representing how clarity, strength, and self-discovery can emerge from facing anxiety. Classic alchemical symbols, including triangles and a hexagram, are woven through the gold, evoking the tradition of turning raw, difficult experiences into something valuable. The entire image is a metaphor for how anxiety, when understood and transformed, can reveal unexpected power and personal growth.
