I have also had problems with anxiety-free.. Until I start pushing myself into the situation where I was anxious and worked on with my anxiety-free... Like just only listening never really helped. What helped me was a combination to really go out and try to work with my anxiety and to listen to it too... both.. But in the beginning I could not get myself to do the action, because I felt anxiety, so I used it with Get around to it and Automatic Pilot.. That really gave me a drive for going out and conquering my anxiety for that specific reason.. My reason was that I had some big fears approaching women... So I just start listening to anxiety-free.. but I still never went out to approach women, like my anxiety never was gone.. So I used Get Around to it, and my workprogress started.. Started to listen to side A of Get Around to it: My project was to go out and approach girls with a "Hi" and then go by... Small steps, you should take that too.. Choose a step you feel you could do but still feel some anxiety doing.. Listen to Get around to it for that.. And Anxiety-free.. Go out and do it, and do it often, untill your anxiety is gone... progressing, and surely moving forward.. and when it's almost gone, maybe you then can find a new goal: Something new that gives you anxiety, and then choose Get around to it and Automatic Pilot and Anxiety free and that will almost drive you to do it.. you will feel a urge for that.. And till that feels comfortable, let it be approaching a security guard or something like it. Or better, even smaller step... and when that anxiety almost has disappeared then choose a next goal which you know you can do, but still feel anxiety doing.. till it all feels comfortable again and so on and so on.... That really helped me.
I also found out that anxiety-free did not worked for me if my purpose was too big for me to handle at one time. REALLY importent to break it down to such small projects, that you feel that you CAN do, but still feel anxiety doing. And then doing it till it feels comfortable.. Then you have come a really really long way if you can notice the effect of that only once... The rest projects will then be a peace of cake, bacause you then have got familiar with the process.... It all may take years, but it's worth it, is it not?
