Thought that I'd write about a very positive development with CBT T.

I have had a driving phobia for years, although I do have a license and drive within a certain geographical area I feel "safe" driving in.

I was hoping that CBT T would get permission (because of potential liability) from his clinic to get in the car with me. He DID end up getting permission and today is the first day he went driving with me.

It was great. He pointed out when I seemed most anxious, how anxiety caused me to make a traffic violation (just one), and what I might consider trying.

He was so supportive and patient. It means so much to me to have someone finally help me with this problem. I tried to tell him that but I don't think he grasped how deeply meaningful it is to me. My parents did little to help me learn growing up. It has been a real struggle.

just wanted to share a good experience.
