If I may suggest something unorthodox - have you tried psychedelic therapy? And I don't mean just taking a psychedelic, I mean working with a therapist to go on an intentional healing journey.
I admit, although not medically prescribed or supervised, doing mushrooms has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Although I still have persistent nightmares it changed my understanding of other people and their perspectives to the point my anxiety in a lot of situations has vanished.
I don't think people should go nuts with them but I do think it's a good idea for some people with anxiety to find a clean pleasant care-free place to try them. Even if it just allows them to spend a few hours immersing themselves in completely different thought patterns and potentially gain something from them.
