Learning to Feel: Yes. Absolutely. Anxiety can be thought of as having learned a reaction to situations or things that is unhealthy. Good mental health therapy includes gaining insight into these reactions and redefining your experience and feelings. Exercise helps as does a meditative practice. Yoga can help. Good talk or cbt therapy should also be considered. Many people can overcome anxiety.
