Using hypnotherapy to treat driving test nerves
For many people, the anticipation of the driving test can be just as bad as the test itself. Thoughts of what might happen, or what might go wrong, just bringanxiety and stress.
This stress builds and builds, and as the time of the test draws ever closer, the anxiety builds to such an extent, that the learner driver feels that all their newly-learned skills will be sure to abandon them, and just at the moment they know they'll need them the most.
They 'know' that they can drive perfectly well at any other time, but feel and sometimes find, that their skills desert them just as soon as the examiner gets in the car!
The stresses and strains that a driving test can bring, can be especially frustrating to the normally competent student.
Issues associated with driving test nerves
All of the following, and more, are very common issues and signs of driving test nerves:
- Feelings of anxiousness in the time leading up to the test
- Butterflies in the tummy, feeling sick, and a dry mouth
- Trembling hands trying to sign the forms
- A blank mind during the written test
- Worry over the inability to take the examiner's instructions correctly
- The extra pressure of friends and family waiting for your call to see if you've passed
- All your friends stories about how they 'passed first time!'
All these things can bring untold pressure on the student. And of course, if someone does fail a driving test, this can add even more pressure for a future test. and so on, and so on. it's almost self-perpetuating!
Lack of confidence in the driving test
Many of the feelings that people with a fear of the driving test face, are to do with their lack of confidence in a test situation, as well as a basic fear of losing control while they are 'on-the-spot' and being judged.
Of course, for some people the fears they experience prevent them from even sitting the test in the first place.
They put it off, and put it off - and so completely avoid the issue. On the other hand, for some the fear of driving simply doesn't end after the test has been passed.
For these people, another page devoted entirely to the fear of driving has been created.
