Anyone got an ideas on how to overcome irrational fears? Like

Im pretty much the same way.
im 6'0 225, bretty strong but i hate getting into confrontations or fights. I had to fight my drunken room mate a couple months ago and i was deathly afraid even though he was like 70 pounds smaller than me. After the first hit you just go into rage mode and everything works itself out.

Sounds like a problem someine inmiddle school would have. But i'll answer anyways.
If it comes to down to becoming a fight, defend yourself, maybe not by fighting back but from attempting to escape from the situation.
Thats one good way. But if needed just square up.

Pick up some sort of martial art. Knowing how to fight is the ultimate boost to your confidence.

Its not really an irrational fear but you want to at least charge at this head on and embrace the possibility its going to happen.

Get a gun

oh that's easy
get some cameras and lay them out at the right spots
And provoke them into a first hit

If you're around others, they will rush in to help, and you just faced your fears and now you can sue both the guy, AND the company. Sue the guy for assault and expenses, sue the company for negligence, ah hell, let's go for broke, for being an accomplice.

Just know that it hurts, but chances are tripping or sliding is probably the same if not more painful. It's not really an irrational fear, pain is real, but you shouldn't let it run your life.

But make sure you get some records of you making attempts to talk to your boss and HR, you're gonna want that for your lawyer to have some leverage
