See a psychiatrist. There may be a chemical solution.
Go out of your comfort zone. Sign up for intense martial arts classes, and don’t quit after you come home bruised from your first session. It will not take long to overcome pain thresholds. Mental pain/aversion is not the same as physical pain, yes, but the skill of breaking past aversion limits is transferable. There’s a reason for the saying “pain is only in the mind.”
