Like a worn out recording...congratulations, you've discovered the phase known as "too old for this shit"! :) You have in fact *out grown* these fears that used to affect you so deeply. Of course all your hard work and therapy have played their parts but actually? Time cures (a bunch of) wounds (mostly by living through experiences that reinforce the truth your fears are not actually valid).
Don't fret that you weren't somehow magically aware of this happening; it is, of necessity, a gradual process, and only noticeable in cases like you describe above, when you try to talk about it and realize you've changed.

Yay for not being afraid!
