2.5 y/o refuses to poop

Question

My 2.5 year old is potty trained when it comes to pee but not poop. She is a stool holder, she constipates herself and I have to give her mirlax daily. I believe they are painful because of how large the poop is when it finally come out. I’m so confused how to get this child to poop on the potty. She’s scared and would rather hold it till she can’t then poops her pants. I have completely failed by offering treats, taking away treats, getting angry and yelling nothing works. I’m at a total loss please help.
