My GBB is afraid of eating mealworms!

My GBB T is literally afraid of mealworms, she doesn't try to attack it or even go near. This one instance I cut the mealworm's legs and stabbed it (to pour its juice out) she just ran away in fear of the rapid movements the mw is making. How do I teach my gbb to eat it? :/

I have had it for a month, she just molted a week or a week and a half ago (post-moult) and shes pretty hungry and all she eats are lats (roaches) and shes having a good time webbin on the fake plants and shes only like 2.5 inches and Ive seen smaller GBB's eating mw bigger than them :/ Im pretty concerned. Just fed her a newly moulted roach and she ate it quick like fire.
