it sounds like your therapist thinks that you're ready to start being more independent. thats something that has to happen eventually. try and have some confidence in her assesment that you're ready for this. its going to be one of these things where you don't think you can do it until you do. the only way to learn that you have the strength and ability to get through is to give it your best shot.
do you have a pet, stuffed animal, pillow, or blanket that you coud hug? it isnt't eh same, but it can help. and try and pick a different movie, one that isn't triggering, and that has happy memories attached possibly.
