On a roped route, practise falling on purpose from just above the last clip. Start small, shout "falling" and relax your body. On boulders, bend your knees and roll through the landing.
Repetition builds trust
The more falls you take on purpose, the less scary the accidental ones become.
Follow your curiosity
