David Rosmarin: 作为一名焦虑专家,我认为最根本的是停止因为感到焦虑而评判自己,要接受焦虑是生活的一部分,因为每个人都会经历焦虑。事实上,如果你没有焦虑,那可能反而有问题。一旦你接受了焦虑,你就可以把它当作盟友而不是敌人。这需要我们改变对焦虑的看法,不再视其为需要消除的负面情绪,而是将其看作一种可以利用的资源,帮助我们成长和发展。 Mel Robbins: 我过去常常通过饮酒或逃避来应对焦虑,但这些方法都没有奏效。现在我开始意识到,或许可以尝试接纳焦虑,而不是逃避它。Dr. David Ross-Marin 认为可以与焦虑共存并从中成长,这让我感到非常好奇。我希望能够学会如何将焦虑转化为盟友,而不是让它控制我的生活。
