For me it was a graduated exposure to my fears. Understand that it will take time and not to get down on myself if I feel i'm failing. To keep a diary of my emotions and thought processes that we could talk about in our next session.
I was asked to focus on my thought process and to try and avoid getting into what I called back then the vicious cycle of what if's and maybe's that was partially driving my fears. The toughest part was retraining my mind to an attitude that this is a challenge and that I will become stronger as the weeks progress.
I had breathing exercises that I had to practice when I felt anxiety building up inside of me. Report back on how that was working.
