Review From F. Palmer — Fear of Driving
I have had a driver’s license since I was 16 years old, and up until about a year ago, I always enjoyed taking to the open road. For the past six or seven years I have traveled a great deal for my job in sales—mostly by car, and my family enjoyed vacations together every summer—again, we mainly traveled by car. Early last year, I began to develop an uneasy feeling while driving. This was especially a problem on narrow roads or expressway ramps (any place where the roadway was tight on either side). Within a few weeks, I was having full-blown panic attacks whenever I tried to drive. I began putting off business trips, but I knew that I could not do that forever. I was really scared, worried, and, frankly, embarrassed. It’s not something that is easy to admit. How could a grown man who had driven almost all of his life suddenly be frightened by driving? I talked to my family doctor, but she said that there was northing wrong with me physically. She suggested hypnosis. Although I could not imagine myself being hypnotized, I started to read about it online, and, in the process, came across the Louisville Hypnosis Academy. I called and talked with a hypnotherapist and we set up the first appointment. He told me that my problem was a relatively common one that he worked with all the time. After just the first session, the panic subsided, but was not completely gone. It took five appointments over a five week period, but I am now able to drive normally—just like before. What a relief! Hypnotherapy worked for me, and my wife is now going to the Louisville Hypnosis Academy to kick her smoking habit. I highly recommend hypnosis and the Louisville Hypnosis Academy. F.
