tances that remind you of "the incident." You may not have forgotten the incident, but you can prevent those memories from gathering momentum and filling you with terror all over again.

If you have ever had a road rage incident occur in your life: if you've ever been driven off the road, or had someone glare at you, gesture obscenely, or shake a fist at you; if someone has ever tail-gaited you so tight that you did not dare to slow down, or if someone threatened you by following your car into a shopping mall, you have known the feeling of fear. You instantly respond with stress: white knuckles, wildly beating heart, short breaths, frozen impulses- or the wild rising of rage to retaliate. Either way, it was not the way you wanted it to be. You were not in control. Forgetting that incident may take a while, maybe a long while. In the meantime, there are opportunities to take the edge off that stressful feeling that comes up every time you are in circumstances that remind you of "the incident." You may not have forgotten the incident, but you can prevent those memories from gathering momentum and filling you with terror all over again.

This time you will be in control. You will not be the victim of road rage this time. You are going to reach into your First-Aid Kit and apply. First, take a deep breath, just let your lungs fill all the way up, then relax as you breathe out. Do it again. And again.

Second, when you come to a stop sign, look at the picture on your visor, the one you put there just for this special occasion (or no special occasion at all.) It is the picture of your beloveds. People you love add support with their love for you, and seeing them makes life better.

Third, when you come to a red light, put your arms around yourself and give yourself a true hug. Nourish yourself with the comfort it provides. It's a scientific fact that hugs are healing.

Fourth, thank the Div
