Tips for getting over fear of backflipping after injury?

QUESTION

I landed my first backflip a couple months ago. I've attempted it many times since then, though most of the time I landed still tucked, on my toes. I ruined my ankles and took a month off. I also have a wrist injury (probably moderate sprain) that hasn't fully recovered since I hurt it 3 months ago.

The combination of these gets to my head when I'm flipping, and I'm always either landing on my toes or sticking my hand out and hurting my wrist when landing. I know I need to let my injuries fully heal, and when that point comes are there any tips you guys have found helpful in getting over the fear of flipping?
