Oo I can answer this one!
It's kind of like the placebo effect, in which believing that it will work makes it work. Anxiety/fear/etc are self-perpetuating systems- the behaviors (e.g., avoidance, hypervigilance), feeling in your body (heart rate, muscle tension), and thoughts (e.g., "I'm not safe") all reinforce one another, and breaking one part of that chain can make the whole system collapse.
