From Anxiety to Peace : Better Mental Health By Rethinking Priorities with Erik DaRosa
In high-pressure careers, the battle with anxiety and OCD is often a silent struggle. Erik DaRosa reveals how we can improve mental health by breaking that silence. He shares his own journey from "managing anxiety" to hitting a breaking point at 33 years old. He kept his struggles private due to the societal expectations placed on men; now, through his story, he advocates for mental health in the workplace.
Erik describes his equilateral triangle approach to healing - combining Western therapy, Eastern practices and the great outdoors. We'll hear about his personal experience with anxiety and OCD and how navigating a high-stress career on Wall Street led him to overcome mental health challenges and embrace authenticity.
