I thought it was a fear that she had learned to deal with, like a child's fear of the dark. They are still scared, but they deal with it and eventually it goes away. I thought of it as some old repressed fear like that, The Boogie Man or a monster in the closet. While it was the thing she most feared in her entire life, it wasn't anything that would actually scare her now. Hades on the other hand, being surprised and defenseless, could do nothing to fight the terror off.
Whether that makes sense or not, that's how I read the situation.
