Beyond that I think the "answers" (to the extent there are any) are to continue working with your therapist, perhaps adopt a meditation practice (if you don't already have one), get plenty of exercise to work off as much anxiety as possible, & other things like that. Perhaps other PC members will have better suggestions. Best wishes...

I tried researching on my own online and it does seem like “exposure therapy” is a common answer! And tbh I have been unsure if it was the work incident alone that triggered this or if it is a combination of work incident AND the virus shutting everything down. I havent had anywhere to drive to except my job which i live 10 min away. So maybe not driving for so many months now has caused this. It is just difficult to break the fear, the paranoia and anxiety in the moment..:/..
