When I was 12 years old, I was driving with my dad back home from a classmate's birthday party. It was dark, and raining, and some driver trying to make it through the intersection when the light was turning red rammed us at 50 mph.To this day I have scars all over my body, and it took physical therapy to get me back to normal. My dad came out relatively unharmed save some minor injuries.
First figure out why are you scared to drive a car in traffic and then take steps to overcome the fear. Are you scared of the cars around you or are you scared you may make a mistake? Did you know that being scared while driving can cause you to make a mistake? Being scared is dangerous because you have poor judgment and this can cause an accident all by itself.So just relax while you are driving in traffic and that can really help you get over your fear. If you just follow the rules of the road and drive your car properly you won't have any accidents. You do not have to be afraid as that is not a good feeling. Just calm down and be careful and you will be fine.
I always thought I was the only person in the world that had driving anxiety, everybody else around me was always looking at it as a mundane activity that has no frightening aspects.Thankfully, there's the internet! And after researching it I discovered that many people suffer from driving anxiety and there are a lot of things you can do to overcome it.
You are personally dealing with it. There's no better reason to learn more about driving fears. Gone are the days when people relied on their doctors to deal with whatever condition they have. We have moved on to a world where patients empower themselves with knowledge. In your case, knowing more about your fear of driving will help you beat it. Reading more about driving fears will also help you determine if that is what you truly have. It's possible that you have driving anxiety or phobia which exhibit similar symptoms but require different treatments. You can prevent symptoms from taking place or from worsening. That's because knowledge makes you self-aware and awareness enables you to determine whether you are experiencing fear. Upon noticing what you're going through, you can prevent your symptoms from escalating. Learning to control symptoms is also a critical step for anyone who wants to get over fear of driving.
Take deep breaths -- If you're ever driving and start to experience one of the many symptoms of your phobia (sweating, stomach aches, nausea), take a few deep breaths. Inhale and exhale slowly. Deep breaths steady the heart beat and help you to relax.Always remember that you can overcome your driving phobia. Take the first step and make a firm decision to get over your fears and start on a new road.
Are you keeping your fear of driving a secret? You're not alone. Many people who share your fear often keep it a secret, afraid of being ridiculed for something that isn't normally heard of. Perhaps this is also the reason why no one from your friends and family know about it. It must be difficult to be surrounded by people who talk about driving as a normal part of their lives when the mere thought of it makes you feel uneasy. Then again, there's really nothing to be embarrassed about. You can talk your way out when getting over the fear of driving.
Talk to your family.Family members should be the first people you talk to when getting over the fear of driving. Start by telling them how long you've had this fear. If you haven't figured out what's keeping you from getting over the fear of driving, maybe they can help you find out what caused it in the first place. There usually is a traumatic experience behind every fear and it's important you find out about it. Were you involved in a car accident or did someone you love die because of it? Once your family finds out about what caused your fear, they can better help you deal with the past.
Your subconscious mind stores everything you have ever been exposed to along with every thought and feeling you have ever had. Sometimes your subconscious will fixate on something from your past, and amplify or exaggerate the thoughts or feelings connected to it. Therefore, you may feel your phobia is irrational when in fact it may be just a memory that has been blown way out of proportion.
Talk to psychologist or join a therapy group.Psychologists understand the human psyche more than anyone else. If friends and family don't seem enough for getting over the fear of driving, you can seek help from a professional. Just go through the process and see your psychologist regularly. Listen intently to what he has to say and remain open to his suggestions. Remember that the intervention of a psychologist can only be effective if you follow his advices. If you don't find talking to a psychologist comfortable, you can look for a local therapy group in your community that specializes in getting over the fear of driving. The therapists who handle these groups are professionals while the members are also afraid of driving.
While you are in this state of hypnosis, your powers of concentration are heightened which your hypnotist will use to guide your focus inward. Your hypnotist can then identify what causes your fear. Your hypnotist will then plant positive suggestions in your subconscious that will change how your mind perceives that fear.Your hypnotist will reprogram your subconscious so that the traumatic event from your past will no longer influence your life today. In doing this, your subconscious will begin to understand that it does not have to trigger a fear response when you want to drive. Through positive suggestion and visualization techniques, hypnosis will allow you to be free from your fear of driving completely and allow you to truly enjoy the full experience of the open road.
