Hmm I'm not sure if it is being happy per se but rather being in a place where everything is going well (the two perhaps go hand in hand) - where there's absolutely nothing to worry about. That's precisely when I find myself extremely anxious. When things are not going so well for whatever reason, I seem to be able to cope better. I don't know if it is a need for self-sabotage or simply fear that the good times won't last, but I can relate to the feeling of anxiety you describe.
Whether happy makes therapy harder - I'm not sure - difficult question - I'd say yes and no.
