Podcast EP 105: Highway & Freeway Driving with Panic & Anxiety (April 2020)

For many, the fear of driving on the freeway, highway, or motorway is a big problem. Often I am told that this seems and impossible task. A typical person facing this challenge will insist that driving at high speed on a congested highway, involves real danger. They are convinced that disaster is imminent. This is incorrect. Thinking or feeling something does not make it true.

Thank you for the tips, the one step at a time while driving has surprisingly has helped me a couple times. I am new to it however, I also liked the “it’s just another road” I will take these things with me! Thank you

yeah, this is a thing. i can't seem to get to the point where i can think that having a panic attack while driving at a high rate of speed isn't really dangerous. it is. i put it right up there with performing a complicated operation and then having a panic attack right in the middle of it. i don't know if this is something i can get over. how many times do we read "do not do while operating a moving vehicle"?

Go with it & remember it’s a feeling , just that . That’s what I tell myself. But I too find it hard to go over 40-50 so I stay off
