hello so do you have a fear of driving on narrow roads well if you do in this video i'm going to
explain why that is and what you can do about it my name's paul and i work online with people all
over the world to help them overcome their fear of driving and driving on narrow roads such as
the one you're seeing playing in the background now can cause people a great deal of stress and
anxiety some people lose sleep over this and they end up planning their routes to the point
where they go on to google street view and they're looking to see which roads are narrow and if there
are any alternatives and sometimes you have a real fear that if you're going somewhere you're not
familiar with you might end up on a road that you just don't know which might be really narrow and
there's no escape this fear of being no escape is actually really common now it more often shows up
on wider roads it's normally when there is nowhere to pull over on a wide road the people get this
but it can show up at any time and what you need to understand is as i always say in my videos
driving anxiety has nothing to do with driving so it really is irrelevant when this shows up
i work with people who have fear of stopping good lights so they can drive perfectly fine but if
they stop at a red light they start to panic some people experience it on wide roads for some people
it's high roads you know when they're elevated and they're going up into the air some people
experience the problem on narrow roads and it really is irrelevant when you're experiencing this
because sometimes people think is it worse or better if it's on a wide road or a narrow road
it doesn't really matter okay so that's just a symptom however you're experiencing driving
anxiety that's just a symptom so it doesn't matter how it's showing up but let's look more at narrow
modes in particular so some of you will find that just watching the video playing in the background
will give you anxiety i know there'll be some of you watching us know whose palms are starting to
sweat you're starting to maybe shake a bit and you're starting to feel the same things you do
when you're driving on narrow roads well if that's the case then i've got some great news for you
because if you're able to feel that now just from watching a video or even just from thinking about
it that means it's going to be a lot easier for you to overcome it now don't worry if you're not
experiencing the symptoms now that's fine as well but if you are experiencing the symptoms just from
watching a video that means that you might well be easier to work with than someone who isn't
experiencing the feelings but like say don't worry either way but when i get people on the session
who can experience the feelings just from sitting there and talking to me that's a really good sign
that you're going to be able to overcome it because what that is is the problem is
presenting itself to you even now and that just goes to prove what i'll say about it's nothing to
do with driving because you're not even driving you're just sitting there wherever you are now
maybe standing up somewhere and you're watching this video so you're not driving but why'd you
still get the same feeling because when you are driving it's because it's nothing to do
with driving it's the thoughts that are running through your head which are actually relevant
and they're not even really linked to driving it's just that's when they activate for you
so there are many many ways that we can overcome this fear i won't go into full details of that
because i've done other videos covering those things but just know that if you have a fear of
driving on narrow roads there is a solution you can get rid of it and it can be done in as little
as one hour now it does depend on what the cause is some cases are more complicated than others
but like i said i work with people online all over the world and this is a really common
thing more so around the uk because the roads in the uk are quite narrow as you're seeing in the
video playing in the background now but it can be a problem for people anywhere in the world
