Maybe the confidence to know what to do and how to protect yourself might help to alleviate your fears a little.

Great idea!! I think it would be so beneficial for you try something like this. You need to be empowered so you don't have to feel afraid anymore. I am so sorry you feel this way, but I feel that you should be commended for taking the steps to overcome it by seeing a therapist. And whenever you feel the need to get things off your chest and your therapist is unavailable, you can always come on here. We may not be therapists but we are willing to listen and offer you comfort. Best of luck to you.
