Can you ask them to prescribe an anti anxiety pill? Some places will give one benzo or something similar before a procedure

A different benzo may work better. Also how long do you have? If you have time for CBT (which I recommend regardless) you may have time to get on a different anxiety med (assuming you’re anxious in other situations, which we usually are)
