As a result, participants went through these categories, fulfilling what we have named the “Modal circuit of anxiety”. It is a path that leads them to “The impossible”, a place where the most disturbing symptoms appear. Understanding this and avoiding fall into the lure of physical manifestations (as classical authors did) provides a new vision that allows us: a) the return to the starting point b) to work on the prophylaxis of this disorder in individuals who undergo excessive burden
