Physical effect of anxiety

I know this sounds really weird and petty but it's really annoying.
I have this strange thing where if I'm talking to someone, sometimes I get really self conscious and my neck feels really tight and like i need to suddenly support my head?! And avoid eye contact! It's like a brief bout of self awareness /anxiety attack. I end up sitting there with a hand under my chin for ages because of it.
I've overcome a lot of anxiety and see a therapist every week and she has said i don't really need to go any more as I'm fine
It's just this one bit left which really annoys me! I'm already thinking about next week when I sit and talk to her for the last time and I bet it's going to happen again. I hate it.
I will probably just tell her about it?

Also if anyone is thinking 'should she be seeing a therapist at the moment in lockdown'? then yes, it's one of the few things allowed!
