Why This Matters
A crash can linger emotionally long after physical injuries fade. Maybe you dread driving again, or the 2100 South collision replays in your mind. Emotional healing matters as much as physical recovery. Here’s how to cope in Salt Lake City.

Getting back on the road can feel daunting.
- Tip: Start with short drives near Liberty Park.

Frustration’s normal, especially if they were reckless.

- Recovery Anxiety
Bills and injuries can weigh you down.
