I would definitely tell the therapist about this. Fears can be irrational - but there is usually a basis for them - although that basis can be very false. Talking about it should help you to understand the issues and how to solve them.
My daughter has anxiety attacks and she absolutely has to avoid all caffiene, even when off her meds - she just cannot tolerate it. Her anxiety seems to come and go, but is mostly triggered by stress.
I commend you for getting help and getting this straightened out! Good luck with everything
