Default Anxiety post concussion

Hello all, I was seeing some posts in relation to this, but not sure if anyone actually found help on this subject. I am early 30's recovering from my 3rd concussion in 2 years...my last concussion over a year ago. With this past concussion I have returned to function cognitively and work full time and work out, but have extreme anxiety about repeat concussions or my head in general. So much so that I cut my own hair and don't let my children touch my head. I just worry everything causes a concussion. I am fairly educated and know this is not the case, but can't seem to convince part of my brain or my body of this. I have no mental health concerns prior to this so I am sure it is poor coping mechanisms for anxiety. I have seen sports medicine, psych, neuropsych, physical therapy and all seem kind of confused why I am there. Essentially they say I am fine and this is anxiety that I need to deal with. I even was able to do a vigorous workout with my PT so that is not the issue. Really looking for some advice or feedback on this as I would love to go back to playing basketball, and more importantly just doing things with my children and not worry about my head. Thanks in advance!
