All in your mind... Well if that's where the anxiety is, then it sounds like that's where you want the relief to be. Glad you're finding relief, it's the results that matter.
I too find listening to something before bed calms my mind, especially if I'm stuck in a to-do loop. My go to is the audiobook version of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology (read by the author). It's perfect because I've heard the stories before so many times so there's no stress to stay awake. It's reminiscent of being read to sleep by a parent (I wonder how Neil would feel about our one way relationship). But I'm always surprised I don't dream about Norse gods and giants and such.
I'm fascinated and terrified by hypnotherapy in equal measure. I really enjoyed this and think we need to hear more balanced accounts of it like this. I've never done it myself, mostly because the stories I've read/heard talk about it like a witchcraft that has an ever-lasting effect on your sanity. But I think, like most things, it probably has a small but incremental healing effect over time.
