How to get over a crippling fear of driving?

I had nearly the same issue but with highway driving after a near accident. What I did take a highway driving class with an instructor my first time back which helped. Later one I would go early on sunday mornings, I’m talking 7am, with a family member and hit the highway when it wasn’t busy. It took time, still get scared but its manageable now. The key is to start small and in very light traffic and proud of yourself for doing it instead of berating yourself for not doing more. Self compassion is really the key.
