Hi suezqo,
Welcome to the site! Thanks for sharing your introduction here with us. You have found a great place to share your feelings of panic and anxiety with members who truly understand.
You are definitely not alone in your feelings of panic associated with driving. You may want to use the search feature to view others experiences with this concern.
Be sure to check out our free online program if you have not already done so. There are different types of therapy out there. Some therapies involve talking about the past in an attempt to understand the problem and develop some strategies for coping, etc. The Panic Program is not talk therapy. Its not about medications either. It's a treatment program thats all about getting you actively involved in your own improvement.
It teaches you things you may not understand about panic and agoraphobia, your own panic, your own panic cycle, and as you learn and get involved, you begin the journey and the process of taking back control from a fear that at the moment is controlling you.
So it's not about talking. It's about doing. And in doing, it's about recovery. Its a guide, a silent teacher, and a whole program. It's like going to a school that offers a course in your very own fears and how to beat your very own fears down.
It works this way: The Program guides you through the process of getting back this control. It prepares you for this, one single step at a time, and gives you some homework to bring you along from session 1 to session 2, and onward, in a series of 12 sessions over a period of twelve weeks.
We wish you all the best and look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Casey
