Why am I scared of driving and how can I get over this fear?

I am glad that you felt you could present your question to us. I would want to interview you further to give you a more direct and streamlined answer but I believe that without knowing the cause I can still provide a general answer to your question. It appears that you have anxiety about driving and events related to driving. There are many productive ways you can address driving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has many forms of addressing anxiety and lessening anxiety and its effects. Coping skills are but one of thos methods which is effective in reducing anxiety. which may be keeping you from driving. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy also has many forms of addressing and lessening anxiety and its effects which may be keeping you from driving. Another method of treatment which may also be very effective in reducing and lessing anxiety is EMDR which is also called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. The benefit of this last method is that it frequently produces lasting results faster than other methods of treatment. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy involves five areas - Dialectics which involve being able to see and accept the differences between your point of view and that of others and to accept that both points of view have equal possitility of being right. The second area is Mindfulness which teaches you to non-judgmentally observe and pay attention in the present time. The third is Distress Tolerance which teaches you skills to tolerate worry and distress. It uses Activities, Contributions to others, healthy Comparisons between yourself and others, changing Behavior to create a different Emotion, Pushing away the problem until later, directing your Thoughts to helpful activities adn Thoughts, and distracting yourself to healthy Sensations (ACCEPTS). It also involves IMPROVE the moment through Imagery, Meaning, Prayer, Relaxation, doing only One thing at a time, taking Vacation time, and Encouragement. The fourth is Emotional Regulation. One regulates emotion by engaging in self care using the acronym PLEASED. The fifth is interpersonal effectiveness. Interpersonal Effectiveness uses the acronyms FAST, GIVE, and DEAR MAN. Be Fair, no Apologies, Stick to values, and be Truthful (FAST). Be Genuine, show Interest, Validate and use an Easy manner (GIVE). Describe Details, Express opinions and emotions, ask or say no Assertively, and Reward other for meeting your requests (DEAR). Mindful of goals, Appear confident, and Negotiate (MAN). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has many similar goals and methods. It focuses on how situations affect thoughts and beliefs and also emotions; how emotions and thoughts and beliefs affect each other and how they in turn affect behaviors.
