hello in this video I'm going to answer the question if driving anxiety has nothing to
do with driving then why do I need to go to a driving anxiety expert to fix it my name's
Paul and I work online with people all over the world to help them overcome their fear of driving
and something I say in most of my videos is the driving anxiety has nothing to do with driving
but then I also say that I'm a driving anxiety expert and I am aware of the fact that this can
be a bit confusing because as I said earlier on people do ask me sometimes not many people have
ever kind of spotted this loophole but it is seemingly a loophole they say well if driving
anxiety has nothing to do with driving then why do I need a driving anxiety expert because you've
just said it's nothing to do with driving what I specialize in is taking the symptoms that people
present and using those symptoms to find what the problem actually is and the more often you work
with the same thing the better you're becoming it so think of you like this in theory any therapist
can fix any problem because in theory what you do is you talk about the problem you bring up The
Feelings you trace those feelings back to the beginning and then you get rid of the problem
so in theory it doesn't matter if someone's got a fear of flying they're gaining weight and they
want to lose weight if it's a confidence issue in theory or problems are the same because you
just kind of put them into this hypnotic blender and you get the results and notice how I'm saying
in theory because theory is great but it's not practice in practice what happens is when you work
in the same Niche all the time you just become better and better at it so when somebody comes
to me for example and they start saying whenever I drive at high speed I panic and I get nervous
when I was nice experienced as I am now I would waste a lot of time talking about that so I could
spend an hour or two with someone just talking about what's happening when they're driving
at speed if you go to someone who doesn't specialize in driving they probably do the
same they just waste a lot of time talking about irrelevant things that don't matter
by working with the same problem all of the time I've become an expert at it and it's fair to say
that I'm probably the world's number one leading expert I'm driving the anxiety because who else
has been a driving instructor for over 20 years brought to over a thousand people to
drive trained hundreds of instructors and I was the first instructor on YouTube that I'm aware
of started in May 2008 so I started all this off and then I went and trained and became a hypnotist
and a therapist and I trained in NLP and many other things who else has done all that no one
not the only one in the world so I am probably the world's leading expert on driving anxiety Then yes
I can fix the things I can stop people smoking and all that kind of stuff but I don't because
if you came to me and said can you stop me smoking I would not know as much about that there's some
friends of mine who specialize in that they will be able to pinpoint exact things that you were
saying trace the cause of the problem quickly and fix it quickly I wouldn't do that because I don't
specialize in smoking so I could do it but it will take me longer and it would be a bit clumsier but
that's the advantage of going to a specialist so by specializing in the one thing such as driving
anxiety or fear of driving whatever you want to call it you get better at it because you get so
used to it people come to me and they start speaking they'll say I bet you you experience
this and I name something I haven't yet told me and they say wow how did you know that but it's
because I work with it so often I know all about it and you get to know the ins and the outs what
works and what doesn't work and you just become an expert in that area even though interestingly
it's nothing to do with driving anyway another Point that's well worth knowing is that if you
go to someone who specializes in something they've probably got more of a passion for that particular
thing so if you come to me and said can you stop me smoking I've never smoked in my life I've never
had one cigarette I've never known anyone that smoked I've never had smoking issues I've never
had anything to do with smoking so why would I have any kind of passion about it I wouldn't
I'd probably find you maybe tedious or not very interesting but with driving look at my history
of driving over 20 years as a driving instructor I've made over 700 videos on YouTube my passion
is driving it's my life it's what I do so I'm more keen to get people back on the road than I would
be for example to stop someone smoking check out his other videos on the screen now to learn more
