David Oromith · 10 minutes · recorded November 24, 2025
David talks about anxiety as the mind trying to predict and control an uncertain future, generating countless what-ifs. He asks, did our anxiety ever actually prevent the disaster? He names patterns to watch, such as catastrophising and personalisation, and suggests being with uncertainty, so we find an uncomfortable feeling is not the end of the world.
