The misperceptions that cause the fear is repressed within ones MIND. They are misperceptions taken-on by your MIND relative to your parents. In other words, your MIND misbelieves that should you enjoy yourself, or you experience yourself as successful you will be abandoned by your parent or parents.
The way to rise above these is to recognize they exist, and that they are misperceptions by your MIND.
Ask yourself what you deserve. And remind yourself that it is perfectly OK to be happy. As for success, this simply requires you to accept that you are... already successful. Let go of expectations and an agenda of what success might look like. If you wake up, you are successful.
Peace

That is MUCH too complex a subject to get into in just a single question and answer on this site. If it is still in print, "Overcoming the Fear of Success" was a very helpful book for me. If not, I'm sure there are many similar books out there on the subject -- and websites galore, if you do a bit of searching.
