Has anyone heard of "Pure Anxiety"

My therapist has mentioned the term pure anxiety disorder to me which is apparently a type of anxiety characterised by certain traits.
Has anyone got any awareness of it? It is not a term I have heard before.
How does it differ from GAD?

Your therapist is the best person to explain what it means.

Bear in mind that anxiety is an emotion, not an illness or a disease.

Bottom line is, can s/he help you?

She has pointed me towards someone else who might be able to provide some coping mechanisms. I am seeing her as part of marriage counselling and it happened to lead down a path that led to it.
