SPAZZED Out!

I'm a beginning Celtic harperist (and former lousy pianist and lurker). HELP!
I started lessons in September, and my teacher tells me I'm making great
progress, but I feel like a complete SPAZ most of the time! For example: I
can learn either hand of most of my lesson pieces rather quickly, but when it
comes time to put them together, I feel like I'm playing it all for the first
time and the whole thing falls apart. How do you get past something like
that? I always hear people talk about playing from the heart--something I've
only been able to manage for a second or two before my lack of coordination
and intimidation of getting all those little black notes correct blows the
feeling right out of the water. Is this something that just goes away with
zillions of practice hours, is it just me?
