I got hit by a left hook car 5 years ago. Short story...cuts and bruises for me and a destroyed bike. I wanted to get back to riding a.s.a.p., since I knew the longer I waited the more it would get into my head. Unfortunately, I was on vacation when it happened and had no other bike to ride. First thing when I got home was go out riding. I'll be honest, it seemed like every car was out to get me on this first ride. The more I rode the better it got, though. I'm glad now that I kept at it. I did learn a few things too. Added daytime lights and more high viz clothing.
