Hey Dr. Szymanski,

I've made great progress with ERP. Mostly in social situations, but when it comes to driving I give in to my anxiety. I can ride shotgun and easily face any thought of jerking the steering wheel or pulling the ebrake. When I'm behind the wheel, it's a different story. I think of how a car can be deadly and how I'll purposely hit people. Logically I know I won't act on my intrusive thoughts, but that doesn't help combat my anxiety. Even the combination of meds and exposure hasn't helped. I think I just need to find medication that works better for me and keep trying with ERP, but I'd like to hear your opinion on this. Do you think that it's best that I keep trying what I'm doing?
