Get into it!
It's scary I know but any instructor worth their salt should be able to ease you into it.
It's been a while since I did any aeros instructing but the trusty ol 152 always did ok, sure there are better aircraft out there but for someone coming to terms with spinning it was ideal.
Advice: Don't choose the newest instructor on the block find the experience and preferably an aeros instructor for the reason that they will tend to be able to patter it in a calmer manner(hopefully)so you will be able to see that it does all happen relatively slowly really. And make sure you complete at least 3 full rotations before recovering (personal opinion).Spinning has always had a phobia about it but once you have done a few you'll realise it ain't that bad but make sure you do practice at least a few and with plenty of height to let it all develop, and don't worry, everyone else has been there too!
