Emotions are just information your body sends fo you. So the goal is to figure out the meaning behind it and then determine/overcome the root cause. If you’ve always struggled with anxiety, it started in your childhood - could be trauma related, could be your temperament, could be a chemical issue. Anyway, it sounds like it’s bringing up your abandonment issues. I use inner child work for this kind of thing - so I would try to remember the core wound and then process the grief. There are many ways to do this kind of work though but nothing else has helped me.
Ditto. A license just means you can pass a test. It doesn’t say anything more than that. That’s why you’re always advised to get 2nd opinions.
