I was struggling with it on revalidation my ppl recently. What helped me was when I was shown how gentle the recovery is in a 152. No need to shove the column forward just ease it to neutral and full power. That way you only lose 200 feet or so and it feels quite gentle. Get the instructor to show you a few. And don't go near the rudder when recovering!
