Hi - I have been using and studying your fear of driving program since about January 09.
I have been struggling with this phobia on and off (mostly on) for approximately 10 years. In my immediate neighborhood I tool around just fine although I was starting feel my comfort zone getting smaller and smaller. The good news is that I feel this program has truly helped me and I am very hopeful of overcoming this thorn in my side. I think I hit rock bottom last year and have nowhere to go but up. So I have been driving alot more - testing myself and have even expectations of driving to the beach this summer YEAH!!! I wondered what you thought of something I have been doing - I looked up my local highway on Youtube and found a video - a person driving their car (I guess the camera is on the dash board on drivers side) on the very road I will have to tackle. Kind of like a safe "systematic desensitization". What do you think??
Thank you!
