Members,

Do you struggle with anxiety? Today we will be looking at sample exposure plans to help you overcome your fears.

If you fear driving…

•    Sit outside and look at the car for 1 hour
•    Sit in a car outside alone with the engine off for 1 hour
•    Sit in a car outside alone with the engine on for ½ hours. (Do not do this in an enclosed space due to carbon monoxide poisoning.)
•    Sit in a car outside alone with the engine on for 1 hour. (Do not do this in an enclosed space due to carbon monoxide poisoning.)
•    At a quiet time drive around one block for one hour
•    Drive in a quiet residential neighborhood for 1 hour
•    Drive in the same residential area at a busier time of day
•    Drive on a wider street during a quiet time of day for an hour
•    Repeat as above but make turns, change lanes & stop.
•    Drive on a wider street during a busier time of day for an hour.
•    Repeat as above but make turns, change lanes & stop.
•    Increase the amount of time and frequency of your driving gradually.

Is driving a fear of yours?
