WHAT IS OUR FORM OF TREATMENT?
In Residential Driving School we combine the intervention between a team of highly specialized psychologists in this field and highly experienced road training teachers. One of the objectives pursued is that the person increases their confidence at the wheel and is able to function in everyday life situations with the vehicle.
In the first place, an evaluation will be carried out on which are the factors that have affected the beginning and maintenance of the problem, to later go on to training in coping skills, anxiety control, restructuring of irrational ideas about situations of the traffic…
Likewise, progressively and in coordination with the psychologist, the person will be exposed to situations of anxiety by applying the techniques learned previously with the teacher.
Don’t wait any longer, overcome your fears and never depend on anyone again.
