Even though the injury was caused by a gate, I still have debilitating anxiety (freezing, shaking, crying, etc.) over cutting things with a knife. 

I’ve seen two therapist and both said it would get better if I continued to practice cutting - I did for a small time, but my anxiety didn’t get any better so I gave up. 

But this hasn’t been a problem as I’ve always had my parents around to cut up food. 

However, as I am entering my late teenage years, I recognise that I need to learn how to cook to be able to survive on my own as well as cook for my future family and cooking of course involves cutting. 

Does anyone have any advice on how to overcome this anxiety/fear? 

Thank you. ❤️
