Really like this idea.

She has normal kid fears and "nightmares" about kid like worries, but nothing crazy. If she see violence on the TV, she has trouble sleeping in her room type stuff. But these 2 instances have been above and beyond, so I'd lean towards the performance issue.

Frank discussions where she is able to say anything is usually fairly helpful

Have her see a therapist who can help her with coping mechanisms

Is she getting enough sleep on these trips? I know my panic attacks and anxiety

When she actually gets there, they most definitely could use more sleep.

A performance/sport psychologist (not just a mental coach) could help
