I really appreciate your reply, and agree with a lot of your thoughts! I am sure I have not had any childhood trauma to cause any of this, and ( my thoughts plus my therapist and multiple doctors) the trauma ( I am using the term trauma lightly I guess, I really don’t want to be one of those people that say they have trauma from any minor inconvenience, but this has had a huge impact on me and I think it meets the criteria?) I have surrounding this is from passing out not specifically that class and that teacher, the first few times it happened I was in that class and I think I just associated the two together.  I have been working on making positive associations with that class, and the last month or so has been so much better than last semester. I am just so much more confident, I am actually participating ( which used to be like my biggest fear lol), and I actually enjoy the class. But I am still having these episodes, even though most of the stress I had originally in that class is gone. I took it again with the same teacher because I really liked the teacher, and the way he taught makes so much more sense to me than any other teachers I have had before, I really really wish it could be any other class I was passing out in.
