Dont think about it was much. Before you go out for a ride think about what you want to accomplish. Think about going w2w heelside. Do a couple of short jumps at first really working on your pop. Then after a couple of small jumps cut out and cut back in really hard, loading the line and keeping your progressive edge through the wake. Stand tall and go balls out. You'll get over the fear after a couple of landings. If you case it again though, get back up and go at it right away so the thought of it doesnt linger and hurt your confidence again. Hope I could help.

Umm.... cut harder or get a boat with a smaller wake?

Or you could ride at 60, but that would be a puss thing to do.
