It is true that all our life experiences, exposures, upbringing, etc keeps shaping and modifying our perceptions, feelings and behavior all the time including our coping techniques. In your girl friend's case I understand the sensitivity of the issue and why she doesn't want to see a professional. It is important that she feels her emotions and her behaviours or fears / anxieties are first fully acknowledged and appreciated in the context of whatever she has been through. This acknowledgement is likely to make her comfortable with you and help her to overcome her anxieties. You can encourage her to practice good lifestyle like yoga, meditation, relaxation, good sleep hygiene, healthy eating and practicing structured routine consistently etc. If things are not getting better then professional help is strongly advised.
