Working out alone after having a personal trainer

Hi everyone, for context I started going to the gym a couple of months ago and at some point I decided to book a couple of sessions with a personal trainer. I mainly wanted to get a more personalised plan and learn the proper form. I can tell you that it made a BIG difference. I was not aware how much you should be aware of your body and which muscles are working, instead of just blindly lifting weights. I couldn't afford working with them permanently so I booked like 6 sessions to get understanding of the exercises in the plan (the trainer was cool with this). The problem is, now that I am working out alone I am constantly worried about my form and thus the effectiveness of the exercises. There isn't anyone with me to correct me in case Im doing something wrong, which I might be unaware of. I have the plan with instructions for each exercise but I know it will take some time for me to become fully acquainted with it. Has anyone else felt like this? Is there a way to ease this anxiety or does it just come with time and experience? Thank you for any advice!
