I don't think it's you that's missing the point, but your pdoc. She seems to be setting you goals (that you already know that you would like to do) without trying to find out why you find it so hard. It sounds like she is saying 'ignore that you have a social phobia and just do it', that's like saying 'I know you have no legs, but climb everest anyway'.
Could you try explaining to her that you can't do it, and you don't know exactly why, but would like some help with that? Or you could print out your post and show her, so that she knows a little of what you are feeling. That would also show her how much this affects you between sessions.
