Hi fleury. In my case - and I suspect for some others too - it seems that my anxiety is not that easy to treat. I've had tons of therapy and I take an anti-depressant, yet I still have frequent unpleasant physical sensations of anxiety. With me it's not so much my thoughts, it's how I FEEL in my body. My body feels tense and anxious and overdone a lot of the time, even if I'm not thinking anxious thoughts (though, clearly, there is a strong connection between thoughts and feelings).

That's not to say it's all hopeless, just to make the point that for some people, Anxiety Disorders can be very deeply-engrained and hard to treat. It's great you are having success in your treatment. Good for you!!
