Fear was a problem for me at first. It is something that you can overcome and it sounds like you want to, so that's great!
For me, there was a strong fear of fear, as well. I just really didn't want to see something or experience something scary. I made a decision that it was too important to not do the astral practices and see for myself what everyone is talking about. What I did to overcome it was to simply just keep pushing forward. I think this made me stronger in some ways and over time, I gained experiences that proved that there wasn't anything to fear.
The author of the book and course in Astral Travel and Dreams here describes how he was actually really afraid his first time getting out. Lucky for us, he kept going with it!
In the course, there are two major techniques given to protect oneself. These proved to be very reliable. With these, I don't have much fear at all anymore.
Also, I took the other course on Self Discovery and was able to study the fear inside myself and this made it a lot easier. It put fear into perspective.
If you don't push past it, you can lose out on so much! This is something that most of us have had to deal with at some point or another. So, there's lots of support here!
All the best,

Like Gabrielle said, I find too, that we have to face our fears.
Even that's not what we feel like.
I find too that work on ourselves during the day is really helpful to have less fear in Astral practices.
It really helps to stay detached from fear and observe it, as well as investigate roots of fear in the past. Fear relates also to lack of energy, our self-images etc.
All the techniques to work on fear till the degree of eliminating it into the "cosmuc dust" are given in the Gnostic courses.
Much strength in your practices!
