I had the same fear of stalls early on also... I hated doing them, and always pushed away from them. It als make s a difference in what type of aircraft your in... PA-28's are mushy, and not a fast clean brake. my current aircraft is nose heavy, so stalls are really mushy and a non-event unless I have severial hundred lbs in the back. I did some of my training in a Cessna 152, and we did stalls, nowhere the same as in the Piper!... and spins. I still do not like spins...
But after starting flying again last year after 20 years off, it was again hard to get back into stalls..... now I'm good with them..
I'm not a fan of doing stalls but I do them. Power off stalls are no big deal to me at all, it's the power on stalls that I don't like doing that much. When my BFR came around, I was hesitant and sweating profusely when it came time to do the stalls, so I did them to get my BFR certification and then immediately scheduled more stall practice with my CFI and spin training with another CFI who has a spinnable 172. The extra stall practiced helped a lot and I'm looking forward to the spin training. Practicing them a lot will help. Also, watching videos of stalls of the same type of airplane, both from inside and outside the cockpit, helped me a lot.
