I heard about this trick with test anxiety that might help you get past that hurdle. Try imagining that you have ALREADY begun the session and that things have been going well for about ten minutes or until you feel "in the role". Once you achieve the right frame of mind things should progress rather naturally from there. And take you time when you start. Study your slave for a while and just explore their body with your mind. This should distract you and help alieviate(sp?) any doubt.
