Facing Fear through Faith: A Discussion with Dr. David Rosmarin | #19

For today's episode of "Harder to Breathe'', host and founding drummer of "Maroon 5" Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian "Duck" Maillard to share a truly profound discussion with Dr. David Rosmarin, author, speaker, and founder of the Center for Anxiety.

So often in the medical space, spirituality is totally dismissed. On the other hand, in many spiritual circles, science is passed over in favor of faith. With Dr. Rosmarin, the two things can– and in fact should– live together in harmony… especially when it comes to approaching mental health and anxiety.

Dr. David has spent his professional career seeking ways to better handle his own issues with anxiety, and doing what he can to help others who are struggling in the same way. Through the conversation with Ryan and Duck, we learn pretty quickly just how relatable and useful his advice is, and how each of the men has used his "4 Steps" to get on the other side of a pretty intense anxiety attack.

No matter where you stand from a Spiritual Perspective, it's an absolutely can't-miss conversation. Dr. Rosmarin recognizes that each one of us, at some point in our lives, feels the need to connect to something greater than ourselves. In doing so, we allow ourselves to take a step back, and accept whatever might come our way. It's a conversation that sits right at the heart of improving mental health, openness, and vulnerability, the primary goals here at the "Harder to Breathe" Podcast.
