Adolescent Driving Anxiety and Positive Psychology

Driving fear can disrupt your life and keep you from achieving your goals. Career options, for example, are severely limited when you are unable to provide your own transportation.

Adolescents, who are just beginning to discover their independence, can enjoy the freedom that comes with learning to drive. Teenagers with driving anxiety, however, may find themselves feeling stifled and unhappy by their inability to get behind the wheel. It’s difficult for them to see their peers growing up and leaving them behind.

A video shows how a teen girl who suffers from driving anxiety is learning to cope. Techniques based in positive psychology are explored in the clip which you can view at the link below.
