Hypnotherapy for Driving Problems in Enfield Middlesex EN1

Hypnotherapy can be used to help with 2 main areas of driving problem

Sometimes even experienced drivers can find themselves developing anxious symptoms. Problems can start when you are under stress in some other area of your life or as a result of witnessing an accident. Anxious thoughts can transfer to driving because of the high levels of concentration needed to drive. People can have a patch of road that they are unable to drive through (such as a particular section of the M25) although it is more common to find that motorways and dual carriages are the most difficult kind of road to drive on. It seems this is often because it is so wide and open and the person feels out of control and begins to panic.

Treatment for this problem is mostly based on teaching relaxation techniques and slowly introducing small stretches of road  as the person’s confidence begins to return. Sometimes it is necessary to look at the issues going on in their life because driving going “out of control” can be a metaphor for a life “going out of control”

(also see panic attacks)

The other area where hypnotherapy is often helpful is driving tests. This is slightly different from the above because it resembles examination nerves.

Hypnosis for driving tests helps people to remain calm and confident to overcome the nerves experienced in the driving test. It also can help people improve their driving manoevres such as reverse round a corner or turn in the road. Rehearsal helps the steps needed to perform these manoevres become more automatic.
