TW for driving and brief, non specific mention of death &amp; injury.

I was at my psychiatrist last week and we got to talking about using logical, rational thoughts to overrule the anxious ones. One of my bigger anxiety triggers is driving. He asked me "What's the worst that could happen?" And I responded, "I could die." Do I understand that the likelihood of that is very, very small? Yes, I understand the basics of statistics. Does it seem to matter when my /literal death/ is a not completely unreasonable outcome for the situation? Not at all. 

I used to be afraid of weird things as a child (monsters in the dark, aliens attacking Earth, gravity suddenly failing), but I was able to use logic to get over them. Now it's become a source of anxiety for me. I'm afraid someone is going to be driving drunk, that a customer is going to be a Karen, or that I'm going to have another panic attack. None of these things are illogical and happen to people every freaking day. 

I tried to explain that this is the thought process I go through with some situations, but his only response was to ask, "But is that /really/ going to happen?" I wanted to scream at him and say, "How do you know it isn't?" 

So, yeah, "What's the worst that could happen?" is a question that should be used only after you understand someone's specific anxieties, or just not at all, and I'm one more bad appointment away from firing my psychiatrist.
