It's only happened once, but if she sees the 'telltale' signs that I'm starting to panic, she'll edge a bit closer on her seat (I think she means to be closer to reassure me, but it seems to make things worse :/) and she'll ask why I'm getting anxious, but that's basically it. Sometimes I wish she'd just give me a hug and hold my hand or something to get me back on the ground. But she just sits there
Ah, **** happens. I have my arms, legs, life, eyes, ears, etc.

Yeah, I really think it wouldn't be appropriate for a therapist to get all physical like that. You should tell her that her coming closer like that, makes it worse. It would make me worse, too, ... actually, I'd full on freak out, ... I'd find it a bit creepy and probably never see her again. You could ask her for some grounding techniques.
