The driver not the drive.

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

I have faced many challenges in my life and mostly overcome them with logic. I would never put myself purposely in danger. I wouldn’t, for instance, go out into a city at night on my own. I will always survey a situation for a possible problem before I enter into it and if I can, rectify any issues before they become a problem. I’m not saying that I’m overly cautious with everything I do I am simply old enough to suss out potential red flags

Think

Anyhoo, my demon fear is something you guys probably do every day without giving it a second thought.

Open road

I am terrified of driving. There, I said it. Phew that’s a relief. I started off loving driving, it was freedom and independence all rolled into one. I felt like I had mastered something that could only ever be a good thing. I felt I was a good and careful driver, bang the music cassette in, crank it up and away I went.

That’s the one

I didn’t have an accident, didn’t cause one either, I simply froze. I have no idea what happened or why, I saw a hypnotherapist and still couldn’t get to the bottom of it. All I know is that I could not even look at the car that sat outside without shaking and feeling the most overwhelming nausea ever.

Redundant

I tried again a few years later, sadly nothing had changed. The strange thing is I love travelling around in a car, I just can’t be the driver. I often say that in an emergency I would have to, but could I?
