Driving phobia: when driving becomes a nightmare

Hello Mr. Koentges,

I am writing to you following the anti-stress coaching that I followed with you in this month of November 2018. First of all I wanted to thank you, I left this training more light, secure and with more confidence in me.

It was not won, however. I told you that it’s been a few months since I have had a discomfort while driving. Panic attacks, dizziness, tetany at the thought of taking the motorway or having to overtake even a truck. This new "phobia" is all the more disabling and stressful being a mother with young children regularly in the back of the vehicle.

The theoretical presentation at the start of the training was a very useful reminder before hitting the road. The repetitive course, the complexity of which was increasing, allowed me to be comfortable and learn to adopt the right posture, at the right distance.

Despite my great stress at the idea of taking the motorway, you were able to be reassuring and give me advice as you went along. Result: highway, speed and overtaking were not without difficulty but were nevertheless made possible and even rather fluid!

I keep your advice preciously and will try to apply it each time I take my vehicle. One thing is certain, the fear of driving is now giving way to envy. Thank you.
