Reassuring phrases

[EscapeArtist]

I have to see my social worker today and this is the situation I hate most. I hate showing emotion!! When I talk about bad moments in my past I say it with a smile, I don't let it penetrate my conscience, and I hate coming off as negative (i've always been told I am..) but my social worker sees this, IT SCARES THE LIVING **** OUT OF ME. I need some reassuring phrases to calm myself down when I'm at my most nervous, in times when i'm doubting every word i'm saying and freaking out about the fact that people can see me.

What are some reassuring phrases you use in your most nervous-of-moments??

"Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"
some corny quote from a Hilary Duff movie but the meaning helps me a lot.
I've heard quotes from others wording it differently but the message is all the same
That's all I can think of right now, sowwy ::

Vulnerability isn't a bad thing, IMO.
