No offense intended, but I completely disagree with the "don't force her to go out" bit.
While you certainly don't want to make matters worse by petting her while she's outside or yanking on her collar to go outside, you can do some simple leash commands in the house to get the trust up and then go outside with her on the leash. Let her know you're there and use the trust buildup routines. Once she trusts you, her confidence will grow and the behavior should change. Just don't coddle and love her when she's scared. That reinforces the negative behavior.
Training, training, training. I can't emphasize it enough.
