It’s normal not to be ok.
Most instructors say nervous drivers welcome, but most don’t know how to REALLY help you.
Do you feel awful when it comes to the start of your driving lesson or is it actually stopping you from beginning your driving journey?
If so, read on…
I’ll start out by saying that anxiety about learning to drive is quite normal.
There you go I’ve said it, the thoughts and feelings around learning to drive that you may be having ARE NORMAL!
Are you a Nervous driver?
If I had to put a number on it I’d say around 75% of all learners that get in my car have a level of anxiety that would hold them back.
How can I learn to drive if I feel like this? I hear you cry. Well, quite simply you need the correct instructor and an open mind. I say simply but it’s not that simple.
Most instructors will tell you they are great with anxious learners, I suppose they would, they want your money. In reality very few actually do know how to help you more than not shouting and just getting you to go over and over and over things until you become able to do them, even if it means you still feel awful.
Not many will actually know how to help you adjust your mind process and give you tactics to help you stay in control.
We have invested in our time and money in learning how to help you.
We look can look how the emotional element of your brain ? is holding you back and how breathing techniques can help you reset and lower your anxiety.
The simplest form is breathing in through the nose and out through the Mouth. It’s a pretty basic technique but will help to start to lower your anxiety levels in most situations.
We’re not psychotherapists but we are driving instructors that are committed to improving what we do.
In closing do not let your anxiety hold you back. You can be an amazing driver! You just need to find the right help 🙂
It’s all about you!
Why not ask a potential driving instructor about HOW they will help YOU deal with YOUR anxiety, if you don’t like the answer. Move on, you don’t have to accept someone not being able to help you.
Just not shouting and having endless patience might be a start but it isn’t a complete solution. If you’re looking for lessons in The Mansfield or Ashfield Area then feel free to get in touch HERE and let us have a conversation about how we could help you.
