The Vancrux Podcast – Host Jeevan Matharu

Episode Description:

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Larry Waldman, a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with over 45 years of experience helping children, teens, couples, parents, and adults navigate anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm using solution-focused approaches.

Recently semi-retired from private practice in Phoenix, Arizona, Dr. Waldman brings decades of clinical wisdom, academic depth, and real-world insight into how anxiety forms, why it persists, and how it can be addressed without over-pathologising everyday human experience.

We explore:

  • What anxiety really is (and what it isn’t)
  • How anxiety shows up across different life stages
  • Practical, solution-focused ways to reduce anxiety
  • Why understanding matters more than suppression
  • When anxiety becomes a signal for change

This conversation is calm, clear, and deeply reassuring — especially for anyone who feels stuck in their own nervous system.
