@JanAtheCPA wrote the following about anxiety to someone on another recent thread, which answers your question:
"Anxiety is not an emotion! This is essential for you to understand. Anxiety is a symptom, just like pain or other TMS equivalents.
Anxiety is a symptom of unconscious emotional conflict combined with fear. The emotional conflict is due to negative repressed emotions. This is Sarno 101.
Stick with the SEP. Don't rush through it, and do the exercises with integrity - meaning with mindfulness and extreme self-honesty. The answers will come."
and I wrote the following to you about anxiety in another thread that you started - which I don't know if you've seen as you haven't acknowledge my response to you:
"Anxiety is common in TMS, and needs to be addressed directly as part of the recovery process. Many have found resources by Dr. Claire Weekes to be very effective in dealing with their anxiety. You can find more here: https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Overcome_Anxiety_with_Dr._Claire_Weekes (Overcome Anxiety with Dr. Claire Weekes) or you can read her book "Hope & Help For Your Nerves" which is also readily available in various formats."
With regard to the SEP that @JanAtheCPA refers to, I previously mentioned about it to you as follows:
"As you need to start somewhere on your 'journey' to losing your symptoms, a good place for that is to do the Structured Educational Program (SEP) on this TMS Wiki, which has helped many recover. The program is free and does not require any kind of registration: https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Structured_Educational_Program (Structured Educational Program)."
