I've recently read "Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry" by Catherine M. Pittman, Elizabeth M. Karle https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20344354-rewire-your-anx...

It shows the processes of getting Anxious and the role of the cortex, and amygdala in the process. It also shows how you can really rewire the parts (mostly by associations) the parts of the brain trigger these panic and anxiety attacks. It's a great book, and there's also audio book. Very much worth the 6h of listening time. Knowing the mechanisms and biology behind those things helped me see the bigger picture and answer a lot of the "whys and hows".

Lastly, welcome to the club, you are not alone - fortunately this is a skill we can master.
