Driving Phobia

May 2006

I am looking for a female therapist/hypnotherapist/healer or specialist of some kind, preferably in Oakland/Alameda or SF, who can help me with my driving phobia. I have looked for information in the archives but could not find anything. Thanks. anon


I can imagine that your driving phobia is quite distressing. While you may have suffered with this for a long time, there is definitely help that's possible. Many people find that EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a fast, efficient, and extremely effective way to treat phobias such as the fear of driving that you've described. It often has dramatic results in just a few sessions. When EMDR is integrated with other traditional forms of talk-therapy, effectiveness is maximized and long-term resolution of symptoms is quite possible. You can read more about this type of treatment at:http://www.emdr.com/q&a.htm EMDR is most helpful for trauma recovery, anxiety disorders, OCD, phobias, and other long-standing life issues. Linda

Therapist who specializes in phobias?

June 2002

Does anyone know a therapist or clinic that specializes in phobia cures? I have heard of types of therapy for phobias that are very quick and effective when there are aren't a lot of other issues to be worked out. Louise

Recommendation received:

  • Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy Oakland
