That is very interesting. But do you think these therapeutic modalities can help with triggerless anxiety? I have no triggers; it is just that one some afternoons or evenings I start feeling very unpleasant bodily sensations. It can be tightness in the chest, nausea in the throat, weakness under the kneecaps or around the elbows and general unrest. It is extremely unpleasant. But nothing was a trigger. What gives?
