Causal preposition – or?

Today my mind is free from worries.

How was the preposition used here, and what type of preposition would it be:

My explanation:

"From" is a causal preposition. It indicates the cause or origin of why the mind is free. In this case, worries are the reason for the state of "readiness."

It is modal in the case, because it describes the state (the way) of the mind (he is relieved of worries).

The worries aren’t the reason for the “From-Sorgen-liberated.” What it is that he is relieved of worries is unclear. It can also have causal or temporal significance in other contexts, but in this case it is modal.

In my opinion, the preposition expresses a separation here, similar to that in the sentence I’m going from here. So she does what the ablative is responsible for in Latin.

She doesn’t give a reason.
