Is this the part holding you back? Because any decent T is absolutely looking to "be bothered." They view their jobs as helpers and problem solvers. Being bothered is what gets them up in the mornings. Weird, huh?

Would it help in session to 1) present a small situation where you got anxious recently, 2) say it affected me in X way, 3) say I know anxiety is not rational/not helpful/can be improved/something you must know about, etc.

Then you can start from a position of consumer who is self aware and seeks assistance from a coach or mentor or whatever is a safe-but-genuine way to think of your T.

You might be feeling some anxiety/intimidation from your T herself (?) which is not uncommon. It's a brave thing to even see a T. Good luck!
