I really hope that driver lost their licence as they should not be on the roads endangering lives like they were. It's no wonder you have such bad fears about driving again, it's completely understandable. I really do hope the therapy works and even just gives you a little bit of confidence to get your freedom back. My sister was involved in a car/bicycle incident a few years ago and it's affected her quite badly. She won't drive on motorways at all and avoids the area where the incident occurs if she's behind the wheel.

I am thankful that you are alive but I can see why you are frightened of driving again. But you are so brave to seek help for your mental health struggles and I do hope that it will continue to help you out.

My anxiety afterwards was sky high, I had CBT via the NHS which didn't work as it was the similar to the exposure therapy you mentioned. I'm not sure how 'just go & drive' helps as, like you, I wasn't given coping techniques for when I was out if something bad did happen! Eventually I went to see a private counsellor who really helped me. I'm still not 'cured', but getting there. Best of luck with your new therapy sessions, it's all about finding what works for you x lporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569870689569681196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248244475983506646.post-56549939119500724502018-05-11T09:10:54.367+01:002018-05-11T09:10:54.367+01:00I really hope that the next level works for you.

My husband is going through therapy at the moment, and moved from one therapist to another and the difference is staggering. It's still really hard work for him, but the progress he's making is quicker than I'd ever have hoped for and I'm so proud of him. I think with everything, it's about finding the right therapist and the right technique for you.
