Driving Fear Program Review
Many resources deal with anxiety, phobias and panic as general topics.
However, The Driving Fear Program is the most specialized resource that specifically deals with the fear of driving.
It is used by thousands of mental health professionals across the globe.
Presta writes in a clear, comprehensible style. He explains techniques step-by-step and provides personal stories that will help you relate to your own condition.
His tone is encouraging as he immediately points out that your anxiety is not your fault.
In fact, it has to do with your brain being “tricked” into thinking that driving poses a threat.
Presta also advises you to be proud of yourself for each day’s accomplishments while participating in the program.
It is impossible to eliminate your phobia in one day or to be perfect.
Throughout the program, there are tips to deal with days when you are feeling hopeless and ineffective.
Presta encourages you to take baby steps and his genuine guidance and care leap off the page.
The approach to this program is for you to interactively understand and then eliminate your fear of driving through completing a series of exercises.
The Driving Fear Program Manual
This manual will first guide you through an exercise to specifically understand what you fear when you are behind the wheel.
It will ask you to think about if it is a fear of being trapped, of hitting someone, of getting in a fatal accident or some other peril.
You will start to understand your particular symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks.
The Driving Fear Program teaches you an exposure technique to allow these symptoms and attacks to manifest themselves, so you can retrain your brain to realize there is actually nothing to be afraid of.
You will also learn breathing techniques and exercises to relax your body which will reduce your mind’s anxiety levels.
Life strategies like time management, developing goal statements and the seven principles for eliminating anxiety are a part of the curriculum.
Finally, Presta provides you with gradual driving steps, starting from sitting in your parked car, to driving ten miles on the highway and going over a major bridge.
