During my PPL, I found I really didn't like banking hard or doing stalls, as I had read do much about spins & approach stalls that I had scared myself. I actually asked my instructor if we could go up & do some spins, luckily we were flying a C150 aerobat, so it was quite a good aircraft to get some experience in.
On the climb up to 5000', I was actually almost panicking about what we were about to do. The key to it is to find a good instructor, as mine briefed me fully, then flew the first spin, which as anyone will tell you is quite an experience! However, after 5 or so spins, the realization kicks in that the aircraft is still in a flyable condition, you just have to respond correctly. I still have a very keen eye for airspeed in the circuit, as prevention is better than cure! The point I am getting at is to attack your fear, after I did a single lesson on spins, my handing confidence came on very quickly, which might well benefit you!
