What Triggers an Aversion to Driving?
Phobias are often triggered by something completely unrelated to roads, driving and cars. The connection can be as remote as the day the panic and anxiety was at its zenith, a client spent a lot of time stuck in traffic jams, compounding their mounting anxiety. Some people will re-live the anxiety every time they consider getting in a car.
The precise nature of the fear of driving is challenging to define. The physiological effects of driving on our bodies may have some connection to how the overwhelming anxiety becomes entwined with the act of driving. Under acceleration, certain nerves and muscles are instantly engaged. A large collection of unrelated chemical signals travel through the body simultaneously. When these signals are processed by the central nervous system, they are translated into emotional experiences. For some, the physiological effects can be crossed with fear.
Using Hypnosis for a Fear of Driving
As with most disorders that are not clearly understood, hypnosis can be an excellent method of regaining control of runaway fear. For this purpose, Hypnotic World has a specialized hypnosis script to help clients to overcome their fear of driving. This hypnosis script uses the simplest technique in the world for reducing a fear of driving. By updating the subconscious, this hypnosis script is aimed at removing unwanted fear. By teaching or training the mind during the hypnotic state, all information is locked in the subconscious for good.
This hypnosis script helps clients to retake control of their thoughts. Learning under hypnosis can have a powerful effect on behavior. Hypnosis amplifies the rate at which learning occurs. This fear of driving hypnosis script unravels the foundations of conditioned reflexes. The script then updates the feedback loop to transform existing thought patterns.
Engaging the Senses Using Anchoring
Another aspect of this fear of driving hypnosis script is the use of anchoring to reinforce the learning taking place under hypnosis. By using ideomotor reinforcement, this anchoring takes on additional power to help clients control their anxiety. This script is exponentially strengthened by tying an ideomotor response to the anchor while using hypnotic training. This provides you with the power to help resolve your client's fear of driving issues.
A hypnotic anchor is an association to any memory. This fear of driving hypnosis script activates hypnotic anchors using all representational systems; sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. When applying a hypnotic anchor, the greater number of senses engaged, the stronger the anchor becomes, and the harder it becomes to falsely trigger. Therefore, this fear of driving hypnosis script uses a kinaesthetic ideomotor response in tandem with the mental anchor.
Practice is also essential. This is why the fear of driving hypnosis script also employs mental rehearsal. Visualizing practising events gives clients the experience of success. This is the same conditioning method that many professional athletes use to mentally 'rehearse' game moves and actions in order to perfect their skills.
How this Script Helps
This Fear of Driving hypnosis script mirrors the way behavioral therapy inures clients to experiences by creating a subconscious familiarity with the situation through hypnotic practice. This subconscious familiarity diminishes the usual anxiety or panic reaction, giving clients the freedom they need to reach for their dreams. This successful hypnotic script for overcoming a fear of driving first establishes a single belief through direct suggestion, then builds on additional small beliefs one after another using clear direct suggestions. Eventually, the cumulative beliefs override the 'cross-checking' or validation system of the critical mind, allowing your client to become self-confident and assured whilst driving.
