What are your recommendations for drivers with driving anxiety?

I've been trying various techniques to manage it better. Could you provide detailed recommendations or strategies tailored for drivers like myself who experience anxiety while driving, particularly focusing on practical tips and long-term solutions?

When I work with drivers with driving anxiety, I always recommend that they prepare to drive. I help them to identify the source (or reason for) the anxiety to determine if there are factors that they can address (or eliminate) that would make them less anxious. I also recommend that they take their time driving, easing into the process by spending idle time in the car and working towards driving short distances.
