Mindfulness meditation is the best thing I ever encountered. It is so simple yet so effective. Train your mind to pay full attention to the present moment and not to identify with the feelings that arise in those moments. No religious or new age mumbo jumbo, just attention training.

Any clear science-based lessons you would recommend? Many are very nebulous and new-agey, I've picked up some straightforward lessons over time but could always do with more.

Personally I’d recommend the ‘unwinding anxiety’ app— the intro videos are super helpful and explain the concepts well

Try progressive muscle relaxation. Also, as far as mindfulness and thought patterns, Mentalization Based approaches are very promising for "calming" down automatic responses in one's thoughts and behaviors.
