WHAT SITUATIONS ARE MOST STRESSING AND WHY?
  • Circulation in tunnels: the fear of not finding an exit if something happens as it is a closed space.
  • Incorporation to other roads: perception of high speed of other vehicles. The sensations can be more intense when there are several lanes.
  • Driving on bridges: fear of losing control of the vehicle and falling into the void.
  • Parking lots: anxiety about parking well and quickly.
  • Pressure for not wanting to disturb and hinder the traffic of those who come after.
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.
