Phobia Treatments:
There are 3 basic treatment for phobia’s:
- Medication
- Talking therapy’s
- Hypnotherapy
They all have different levels of success.
Medication:
Medication is the least useful of the 3 for treating any type of phobia and probably the worst for a driving phobia.
As driving instructors we are all aware of pupils who might try something like a beta blocker before a driving test but this is not a long term solution.
A medicinal treatment will have some kind of side effect and is certainly not a long term solution.
Talking Therapy's:
Talking therapy’s can cover a awful lot of ground.
Some of the more effective ones will be cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Mindfulness can help.
Most driving instructors will tend to practice exposure therapy as a way of treating phobias.
Hypnotherapy:
This can be extremely effective as it addresses the route cause of the problem.
Because there is a problem for which a client is receiving hypnotherapy help. The removal of the blockage can impact in other areas of a clients life. This might be improved sleep, the ability to relax and a general sense of wellbeing.
How We Can Help:
