Arrow spinnaphobia

Instructors out there:
What advice would you have for a 100+ hrs PPL holder who's remained spin-free all this time, and has developed a terror of them? I know some spin-and-recovery practise would be very good for my flying, but I'm simply too frightened to try (with an instructor, of course) I don't know if it's the thing itself, or a fear that it'll be too much for me to handle. It's certainly partly the unknown.. What will it feel like? Will it all just be a blur or will there be time to take things in and think it through?

As things are, I'm nervous even of stalling, in case things go wrong and I won't cope.

Help, please.
