Would you mind sharing sources?
I'd be interested in reading what you found on those topics.

Rick Hanson has been a life saver. He is a psychologist with lots of meditation practice. https://www.rickhanson.net/
Also I've really enjoyed Heart Math. That book is where I learned about the physiological explanation of stress. And it has exercises that have helped me in moments of aniexty. Like waking up at 3am with worries and stress.
I've been reading and listening to a few things that are helping me. One thing I've been learning about recently are the body's responses to chronic stress, such as the release of cortisol in the body, and the long term damage that can do. And about allostatic load, which helps explain how it gets perpetually worse as time goes by.
The author's experience is real of course, but it doesn't sound like she is an authority to discuss if it can be cured or not.
