triggers

[discontentmiser]

hi,

I am a student and seemed to have got myself in over my head.

I'm taking a very advanced french course. (I have know french for about 4 years, and succeeded in french language school for 3 of those years)

Now this course makes me really anxious. Everytime I think about grammaire exercises (which I'm not very good at, and I'm a perfectionist) I get anxious.
I even had to stay home one day because fear of this class prevented me from holding down my food.

The teacher reminds me of my AF. I have a severe fear of angry people and she is extremely dramatic. Every time she raises her voice (at least 10 out of every 15 minutes of class time) I fear that at any instant she will shout at my and chew me out for not doing something/not doing it properly/etc. (a major problem and regular occurrence with my AF)

I've been forced by a counsellor to talk to her, and she is aware that I have anxiety issues.

I'm trying not to take her outbursts personally, but they still affect me.

any suggestions on how to cope with being trigged like this?
How I could get along in class with the least anxiety?
