Like all fears and phobias, hodophobia is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking road travel and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV, or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma.
But so long as the negative association is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks: "Ahh, this whole thing is very dangerous. How do I keep myself from getting in this kind of situation again? I know, I'll attach terrible feelings to road travel, that way I'll steer clear in future and so be safe." Just like that hodophobia is born. Attaching emotions to situations is one of the primary ways that humans learn. Sometimes we just get the wiring wrong.Fear of Flying
