I feel therapy would be a good decision as you likely have many unresolved issues that may impact an important relationship like the one you have now.
Books? Maybe after you work with a therapist.

Hi, yes it is a lot to take in, I am sorry for writing so much(to be honest it helped me doing that, too).
I just thought those fears cannot come from one traumatic experience, I think it is more a collection of feelings I could never express to anybody that are breaking through. I am starting a counselling (6 therapy sessions to start with) in 3 weeks time.
I think CBT would be a good start, my counsellor is a specialist in this area.
Putting all the reasons for the fears aside... I know WHY I am afraid, I worked hard on finding out - now I am ready for the next step, which is tackling the fear. Overcome it. Learn to live with it. Fear is always fear no matter what starts it.
Any suggestions? Meditations, books, activities?
