I would definitely look to your ped. for advice.

However, here's a personal bit: I was in a car crash when I was a child and was petrified to get back in any vehicle. So, my doc recommended immersion therapy, where you do it over and over 'til you're not scared. It must have been torture for my mom the first few times. We started with short distances, around the block, to the grocery store, (doing these at least once/ day). Then progressed the distances. After about a month I wasn't in the least scared to get in a car.
