There has been some excellent advice from Pilot Dar CGB Genghis and others.
Most fear is fear of the unknown.
There are two ways to confront fear! slow immersion or extreme immersion so much so that it no longer scares you.
If I stall on my own and make a mistake I may spin. I may get into a situation I cannot handle and then i will die?
This is part of the reason I push for spin familiarity spiral dives and anything the aircraft throws at you RATHER THAN RECOVERY AT INCIPIENT!
My suggestion if this is a real problem is to do a few hours with a good aerobatic instructor in an aerobatic machine. Not to do aerobatics but so you can experience in safety what the aircraft can and will do if abused and how to get out of it to such an extent that fear of the unknown has gone.
