I had a similar fear of being punched in the face. What I found helped is putting my hand against my forehead with palm facing forward and having a friend with bag gloves on lightly tap my hand. I found it wasn't so bad and had him go a little harder and then tried it without my hand up to catch it.

I think some kind of gradual progression like that might help.
