Hypnosis For Driving Anxiety

So I listened to this, for 2 nights in a row. The following Sunday I drove to upstate NY with a friend and back. The anxiety was way better. Maybe only 10% over bridges and I only drive about 60-65 mph. But I did it without having to pull over and regroup! I did repeat, I’m a calm confident driver probably 50 times while driving. So proud of me!!

[@1stdrive]

Well done you. You changed the way you think which changed the way you feel and you can stay like that for as long as you choose :-D

[@Dygorgeous]

Yup, I’ve been doing really well! I’ve driven at a nice moderate speed on “The 495” nobody honking me! Next challenge driving to Va by myself!! GULP!!

I was with Driving anxiety from last 5 years after a major accident but after doing this hypnosis practice along with root chakra and heart chakra meditation, manifesting and affirmations, I cleared my driving test yesterday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much for posting this!! ❤❤❤❤ I highly recommend this video to anyone who is fearful of driving ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 so grateful 😇

[@1stdrive]

I'm glad to hear that. Enjoy your driving!

Thanks so much for this guidance. Took my driving test today and passed after years of anxiety preventing me from feeling confident.

[@blessedbeyondmeasurejesusi889]

I watched the video at about 7pm... I slept off and woke up at midnight... By the way i had been having trouble sleeping but after this video even my sleeping patterns hsve improved. Honestly, now I smile when I drive. I'm sooo light in some sirt of way Thank you! Thank you

[@libertyanderson5074]

I can’t believe that on the point where you said ‘how you used to feel’ I actually burst out crying. I feel incredible. Thank you so much.

I love this video and all you said. I was in rear end accident which my truck was totaled and I was injured. My anxiety and hyper-awareness is off the charts. Thank you for your simple words that help me.

[@precioussun863]

I just want to say thank you so much for this. I have my life back. This is a daily routine. I do twice a day. Feel more confident and relaxed. Again thank you.

[@jameswilkes451]

This is underrated. The power that mindfulness and awareness of your thoughts has on your overall performance in daily life can be astounding. I will definitely heed some of these lessons in mind as I'm preparing for my driving test in a couple of days.

[@1stdrive]

Yes we're all obsessed with pills and physical remedies to things but the mind is where the problems come from. Sorry this reply is so late but how did your test go?

[@jameswilkes451]

@@1stdrive I passed the 1st time with 7 minors! Originally it was cancelled, but I managed to get another one booked within a week thanks to a fast track. In the end it was conquering the nerves that allowed me to pass, which was fortunate for me as the first time around I was much more nervous than the 2nd.

[@1stdrive]

@@jameswilkes451 Nerves really are the main reason people fail tests. People talk about it being parking, observation etc. but the root cause of all those things is nerves.

[@lorainescammell5722]

I listened to this tonight after driving home from work and feeling terrified after a very traumatic drive. I felt calm for the first time today afterwards and I'm hoping tomorrow's journey will be less traumatic. I will listen to it again as I found it really powerful and I am feeling more positive than I have for a while, thank you

I’m 23 years old and don’t have my license. I have bad driving anxiety because all the car accidents ive been in when I was younger. I hope this works 🙏🏾

[@tarareid7744]

Thank you for this, I'm been struggling with panic attacks whilst driving and came this video just did one session and when you said how you used to feel I completely just had this powerful urge to cry and I did really bad.. I will continue to listen to this to help me overcome my fear of having a panic attack in the car. Your voice is so soothing thank you for this.

[@1stdrive]

I'm glad it helps. Remember this isn't a magic cure for everything so if anything remains, it doesn't mean you can't overcome that too.

[@snok9674]

I wanted to cry as well

[@rebeccak1658]

This absolutely works!!!

[@Casavult]

I got so relaxed that by the time the light touched my toes I'm certain I fell asleep because when I woke up the video was finished lol.

[@1stdrive]

That's good to hear. That's what happened to me when I first started watching hypnosis videos :-D

[@hybridangel3403]

Exactly what happened me. I feel ever so slightly different driving now.

[@murryrourke2225]

Great Video Paul! I passed my driving test a few weeks ago and I've watched your videos for some time. It's great to see your dedication on making these helpful videos and I appreciate all your work!

[@1stdrive]

That's great to hear. I've been quietly lately but I'm back to it now :)

[@well_im_roro]

Listened tonight, fell asleep to it. My anxiety hasn’t changed I will listen again but I really want a more positive experience like you all in the comments. So close to tears for not having conquered this in so many years

[@pdatnc]

I can sooo relate. It's been many years for me too. I wish us both luck. Let's keep going....

[@1stdrive]

You can "wish" for "luck" or you can take action and get your life back. Here's a video I made about the power of the words you use kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6rOXoGnpcaJd5I

[@dsHigsby]

I have found this gem of a help and have been using it now for my anxiety of driving in a car and now bicycling and it has helped. I feel this video is a great spring board to not only see what the feelings are but to know they are not the be all end all. Therapy has helped after but this is great when I feel like I have to drive and just can't get out of the fear.

[@1stdrive]

That's great to hear and I'm pleased it works for cycling as well! I will do more like this, they weren't very popular at first so I stopped doing them but lots of people are finding them helpful now.

[@Dylangreatrex1212]

Very relaxing voice. Well put together. I have listened a few times now & feeling more positive about driving. I am going to get back out driving further from home today us the day 🙏Thank you for you help 🙂

It can't hurt to try and I've been dealing with panic issues while driving for years so here goes, thank you for posting this, I'm so hoping for the best as driving is part of how I provide for my family

[@1stdrive]

This is gold dust! Can you see how much you've said in this message that shows you what the problem is? You may not even realise is but this is what leads to a massive breakthrough. "It can't hurt to try". How would it hurt if it did? What makes hurting a bad thing? What are you "trying" and not doing? What makes you want failure by only trying? What do you gain from failure? What makes you only hope for the best and not get it? Which part of providing for your family isn't important enough that it wants to be? And that's just from a short message!

[@Aspire85]

Thanks for this mate. I've only listened once and it's given me a whole new perspective. I'm actually looking forward to getting in the car today. I don't have that gnawing feeling in my chest.

This can help with that even if it doesn't remove the root cause of the issue. I've already worked with people with that problem and it's more common than people think.

[@tonyapendleton7467]

@@conferj31 What ultimately worked for you?

[@hybridangel3403]

Thank you. I think I messaged you about that. I actually drove to work on Sunday. I work at the QE and parked fine. Parking is a huge fear. Which was is weird as I never had issues learning. And had no issues when I passed in October 2019. I loved driving on the test I passed on.

[@1stdrive]

Parking is different on your own to when learning. It's not done in a realistic way on tests which doesn't help. In 20 years I've had one test where they did it between 2 cars, all the others they've picked huge easy gaps. They can definitely improve on that!

[@nunyabidness_sirmadam]

Wow. The fact that you passed your road test in October 2019 is incredibly coincidental because I passed on that exact month and year too.

[@bzymuty]

true this parking isn't realistic on tests

I've got my licence since 2020 but Iast time I drove was exactly 1 year ago due to anxiety. I just don't understant why because I always enjoyed driving and it wasn't a problem for me.. Until I had this anxious thoughs of danger and I eventually developed a fear of "what if?" . And that was it, it got worst by the time. I trully want to drive again, hopefully this will help me to understand this anxiety and to learn how to rethink. I know it's a problem of perception. THANK YOU, kind sir, for this channel and I promise I wont give up!

I was a bit sceptical of hypnosis, I have watched your driving videos for a couple of years, I recently got my car & ive already scraped it parking so now I'm terrified & have not been in it since. my children are feeling let down because of me. This hypnosis video is truly amazing & is really making me think about if my fear is worth all this stress. I think more people should give it a go. Thankyou so much 💖

That's great to hear! It's all about changing the way you think about things and it often is much simpler than people think :-D

Your tears are a sign that hypnosis is working. You have to release the energy somehow and that's how it happens for me, it's like crying but without the sadness. It's always a great sign change is happening :-D

[@christines6777]

How often should I listen to this to curb my driving anxiety? Also, for how many weeks do you suggest?

[@1stdrive]

Once is all you need but remember this isn't going to fix it fully. This is nothing like true hypnotherapy, that's impossible to do in a video because it needs interaction and calibration between the therapist and client.

[@Lamy870]

Why did I have tears when he said think of a happy place ?then it happened every time he asked to go back there ?

[@1stdrive]

Because you have unresolved issues to deal with.

[@enigma7513]

I have always suffered with anxiety and Panick attacks. Was under control for some years however..... Since about September I had a huge panic attack walking back from a shop. Since then I have had an awful time of anxiety and panic attacks which is getting worse and worse. It's now happening when I drive (which is so strange as my car was always my get away and safe space). I used to be such a happy and confident driver and was able to drive long distances around the country. Now I'm petrified!! I hate it. It's more when I get to main roads, traffic lights or have to stop somewhere whilst driving. Its ruining my life. A) will this video stop this from happening? B) is it OK for me to listen, I'm diagnosed ADHD, Mild autism and generalised anxiety

[@ginajohnson3540]

I, too, suffer with this. I am so sorry you struggle as well, it feels crippling at times. Try driving in short distances while listening to good music, and don't push yourself too much. Love to you, and I hope you get better with this ❤️

[@Picklezzz4]

Hey, are you feeling better? I have the same problem. In February of last year I randomly had bad panic attack while driving and I actually could not drive home at all, my sister had to take a bus to me to get me back home. Since then I haven’t been able to drive at all. Has anything helped you? Thanks

[@1stdrive]

These panic attacks may seem random but they aren't. In fact, they're anything but random! They are very targeted and specific to events in your life. Each of you here had an attack because something happened when driving that reminded you of a past event which your mind is now associating with driving. Every time you drive you're reliving that old memory but you will have no idea what the memory is; that's why you have the problem. You now have the following program running in your mind: "Driving=(past memory). Solution=panic like I did in this past memory because that kept me safe back then so it will now." No matter what you do, you won't shake the problem without discovering that memory and disconnecting it from driving. No amount of affirmations or someone telling you to feel calm will do anything. You may never know what happened to trigger this and the good news is you don't have to. You just need to find what it was with professional help. Tracks like this will never fix a problem like that because it isn't about feeling relaxed and calm. The more you do that, the more the problem fights back. The only way is to work through is professionally and discover exactly what's causing it.

[@Mike_5]

Very innovative

[@1stdrive]

Hypnotherapy is becoming more and more popular. Many doctors now train in it and many medical experts are realising it's potential. So many people fail their driving test, and many other things in life, because they focus so much on the physical side but neglect the mind.

[@laneymannion8911]

I fell asleep after closing my eyes for the last time. Does it work when you fall asleep? I will try again tomorrow. I can't find the confidence in myself to learn how to drive.

[@1stdrive]

Some say it does work when you fall asleep and others say it doesn't. It's less likely to work because you need to interact with hypnosis for it to be effective: it's not a passive thing as people think. Change the word "can't" in your last sentence to "will" and keep saying that to yourself!

[@Marief70]

When trying to relax with the light beam it felt really good and relaxing then when I got to my neck/shoulders I suddenly had a weird jerky feeling like a flash of an image of a drawn heart and hands on my throat, it was very fleeting. I tried to carry on but the strange sensation bothered me and I didnt feel completely relaxed. I was able to finish the session but couldnt help my mind wandering to what it could have been. What was this? Also, in anxious people, is it harder to relax and avoid intrusive thoughts in hypnosis and is there a way to stop this?

[@1stdrive]

Relaxing is the last thing you do to get over anxiety. The whole point is to bring up the feeling and work with it which is what you did. This video explains more kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Cof5SalKlkmZI

[@edajodilag8717]

After I listened to this I become a F1 racer the next day .

[@1stdrive]

Hypnosis is big in sports but it's used under different names because of the stigma some attach to hypnosis. There's a certain famous footballer who uses it to take free kicks with great success. He puts the ball down, walks back and puts his hands on his hips...that's using hypnosis to enter a state. It's also why you see people, including F1 drivers, doing rituals like always wearing the same shoes or the same socks.

[@iman4944]

I woke up and the video was finished lol. How many times do you recommend us listening?

[@1stdrive]

You can listen as many times as you like. It works better if you listen to it all through to the end at least once staying "awake" though.

Would this help if I have severe ptsd from driving or even being in a car. I know you said mental health issues and didnt know if my anxiety, depression, and ptsd falls under that. I am exhausted from constant panics and its so bad my bf doesn't like driving me places after 2 years of trying to get it under control

[@1stdrive]

For those things you need professional help, not a KZbin video. I know someone who works with PTSD and is an expert in it but it's not something I know about myself.

[@caroline8029]

Does this help with Amaxophobia - fear of being a passenger in a car ?

[@1stdrive]

No because that's not the problem. You'll only fix any driving problem when you find what the problem really is, and it's never anything to do with driving.

Does this still work if you fall asleep during it?

[@1stdrive]

No.

I have a problem that I have read it saying if one imagine a bad situation with fear in hypnosis state, it can become true according to the law of attraction theory, after hearing that all ways when i try to calm down my mind negative fear thought popup. if anyone knows how to over come this pls hepl

[@1stdrive]

That's not true because just imagining something won't make it real. If I imagine a million pounds in my bank account when I'm in hypnosis will it happen? The law of attraction is misunderstood and it's not as simple as just thinking of something and it happens.

[@Bountiful1life]

Does this work for a bike rider

[@1stdrive]

Yes, it'll work for anything but it's meant to help and won't necessarily get rid of the problem completely.
