Anxiety doesn't have to be the reason you stop riding.
If you love riding motorcycles, but anxiety sometimes gets in the way, this workshop is for you.
Join psychologist and motorcycle rider Kim Walker for a unique and practical workshop designed specifically for riders. This session explores why anxiety shows up when we ride, what it is doing in our minds and bodies, and how we can respond to it more effectively.
This is not about "just getting over it". It's about understanding anxiety and learning practical strategies that help you ride with greater confidence and enjoyment.
During the Workshop You'll Learn:
Why riding can trigger anxiety
What happens in your brain and nervous system when anxiety appears
How thoughts, physical sensations and behaviours can fuel anxiety
How to recognise your personal anxiety patterns
Practical techniques to calm your nervous system
Strategies for managing nerves before and during a ride
Ways to rebuild confidence after a setback or frightening experience
How to gradually rebuild trust in yourself and your motorcycle
How to keep anxiety from becoming the reason you stop riding
