Remember that the only bad idea during a brainstorm is not having one, and that nothing can shut a creative brain down faster than a brainstorming session.
Just start doing. You don’t have to show anything. Just start. Don’t judge anything right away. Just go from idea one to idea two and then three. When you’ve got some things, really take a look at them. Some of them will be worthless - this happens to everyone - but, you might find interesting things in others.
But, if you’re DOING instead of judging, you don’t have to confront imposter syndrome. It’s like you just skip the speed bump.

You will be fine. You’ll figure it out. You always do.
To help contribute out loud during brainstorm sessions, I took an improv class. It helped. Also, prepping for brainstorms is allowed; u can bring a few pre-baked ideas into it.
But mostly, its reps. The more u do it, the better u get at it. And u begin to recognize that even the tightest deadline doesn’t require panic, because it’s true what they say: you really will think of something, you always do.
As an older creative, this is one of the reasons I’m a little disgusted about the way older creatives get pushed aside in this biz. We have the reps u need to b really good at all the various things u need to b good at, and can help the juniors figure it out.
