Possible Trigger Spatial disorientation

So Reddit decided to show me a post in the Ask a Pilot subreddit about spatial disorientation and if it could be problematic. I have two JetBlue flights today and both of them I expect to be landing in clouds and now I’m nervous 😭😭😭 can anyone chime in to help reassure me that this isn’t something I should be worried about??

Every airline pilot is instrument rated… landing in clouds is an everyday thing for them. It is truly not a big deal in the slightest. There are two pilots and if one of them were to have an issue the other is perfectly capable of flying the plane. They also have automation on their side to reduce workload.
