I've been dealing with this for 2 years. It is now easier but still not easy. We start many sessions with a deep breathing meditation thing to initially calm my nerves. When I am anxious, she will ask me where I feel it in my body and we talk about the anxiety and what might be making me feel that way - not about the actual issue that I'm afraid to talk about but the reasons I'm afraid to talk about it.

For me, it is hard wired in me to react that way and to hide. It's going to take time to reverse that.
