Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary on Why Anxiety is Good For Us (Even Though it Feels Bad)

Send us Fan Mail Anxiety is one of the most common and truly unpleasant mental health conditions on the planet. But can anxiety be useful? And, in fact, even good for us, even though it feels so bad? This is the belief of today’s guest, Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, who is a leading psychology and neuroscience professor at The City University of New York, an anxiety researcher, and author of the new book ‘Future Tense’. Dr Tracy wants us to acknowledge the discomfort of anxiety and see it as a tool, rather than something to fear or suppress. In our chat Dr Tracy talks about her own experience and outlines her radical new framework - which can be used to prep elite performers but also to help support kids and families - to reclaim anxiety as the advantage she says it has evolved to be.
