anxiety . When you reach that point , and it may take a few hours or a few days , then drive around the block . If you feel anxiety , just pull over until it goes away , then continue driving . For freeway driving , you might try getting on one on ramp , staying in the slow lane , and then getting off on the next off ramp . The most important thing to realize is that even though anxiety does not feel good , it will not kill you . It is your reaction to the feeling of anxiety that can make it manageable or not . Instead of fighting anxiety , just allow it to be . Notice it , and see if you can observe it with detachment . Take deep breaths and try to remain in the present moment . Realize you have a tendency to create anxiety with your thoughts so try focusing on something else , like the environment , music , or the cars in front of you . If you are still driving even though you experience anxiety , these tips can be helpful and good luck . However , if your level of anxiety is very high or if you are phobic , you will probably need some help . As a hypnotherapist specializing in anxiety , I can tell you that you don ' t need to live with the anxiety ; hypnotherapy can be effective for allowing you to drive comfortably , confidently and safely .
