I think the point of therapy is to make the fear go away to a degree. To help you identify reasons for the fear, and then ways of better coping with it and managing it so it doesn't impact your life in a crippling way. I'm sorry you are so afraid. Some of it might be biological too. My anxiety is a combination of unstable parents and biology I think. At an early enough age, having unstable parents can fundamentally change one's brain chemistry so that the organization of the brain is different than it would otherwise be if the parent was more stable.
