Anyone in your situation would be worried. Just try to not let it overwhelm you. Writing helps me with that too.

Good Luck
I'm assuming you chose a therapist who has experience with what you are going in for(?) If the therapist does not have documented experience with SUDS, then I would recommend you move on and find one that does.
