You will get used to it, like walkin... very natural.
I had the same concern. It seems so unatural. Had nagging questions like, how fast should I be going before counter steering start to work. Will I be able to swerve on emergency (double counter steering hard). These will become very easy, especially if you ride often and you ride to perfect those learned skills.
Also like anything physical, your muscle will learn those motor skills, which is important when in emergency situation.
Soon you will feel like the bike is you and you are the bike... flowing through the road.
Be on the lookout for cagers and kids/dogs. So far, I've managed to swerve or emergency break about 6 times from going down. People just don't seem to comprehend that bike is next to them or its coming down the road. I say comprehend, because I am almost certain they saw me.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of riding.
