Whoa! Literal Flashbacks.
I remember being a passenger and my ex was driving aggressively around 100+mph. All I could do is look out the window and talk myself down from the anxiety of the moment and self-talk, all you can do is trust his driving and the Universe. If its my time to die, so it is. So caught up in managing the anxious response, I couldn’t get to the clarity of the big picture.The reality was the same as the suggestion above. Knowing if I requested him to slow down I would be belittled, demeaned, and berated and he would have gone faster and used psychological abuse for the rest of the day. I couldn’t jump. I did decide no more road trips as I was in harms way…all the above. I credited the road trip only. The rest was part of the well known recipe.
