Case Study 2: Hannah, age 55, was in a major car accident 20 years ago during a cross country trip. Ever since, she has been unable to drive on major highways. Although she does drive, she goes to great length to travel only on back roads and scenic routes. She is able to go where she wants but it often takes her much longer to get there than it should.

In this case, Hannah has a memory that prevents her future actions out of fear. One solution may be to have a driver, but this can costly or she may have problems having one on hand consistently. I suggest therapy to tackle the problem head on and may be re-enrolling in driver's school where there is a trained instructor on how to drive on the highway safely and regain confidence.
