Driving Anxiety Session Attendee

Thanks so much for the session on driving anxiety. It is so reassuring to find out how common it is and to feel less alone. I haven’t driven for many years and I’m expecting my first baby in July. I’m determined to crack it before then so I can have my freedom back. Feel much more confident and hopeful that I will be able to now and will be starting small, gentle steps towards getting back to it!
