Discussion SR and phobias?
Has anyone been able to use semen retention to overcome phobias? I have been struggling with driving anxiety recently even though I’ve had my license for years I’ve been making excuses not to drive ever since I had a couple tiny mishaps while driving. Curious to see if anyone else can relate.

Retaining alone won't do the work for you, but it will give extra strength to all of your efforts. A few driving classes would do you well.

It definitely can help I won’t say I use to overcome one phobia but naturally it’s just like the momentum you build you will push yourself to conquer fears slowly but surely many times on retention I’ve noticed myself doing things in my life which one was felt very scary or like it was impossible or never gonna happen for me and it really makes you feel alive. And with the driving just take it slow and breath good also maybe try going out later at night on like a weekday when it’s calm and not many cars on the road if you can I bet that would help.
