Interesting article. I have occasional (every few years) periods of anxiety. Last time around I went through a course of CBT, some of which I found moderately helpful - don't try to suppress feelings of fear, just acknowledge it and move on - but I was certainly not cured.
Then my doctor suggested I try out the Alexander Technique. I wasn't convinced, but gave it a go. Something about it helped, and quite significantly. The logical part of me rebels against this, as AT is full of woo, but the effects were undeniable.
The practitioner I went to focused a lot on feeling the floor beneath you, the seat supporting you, and so on -- I don't know how typical that is for AT, but perhaps that was the part of it that was effective for me. It would certainly fit with what the article says.
