'Shy Bladder'/Paruresis WHAT IS 'SHY BLADDER'/PARURESIS?
If you were to say to someone, 'I can't pee in a public toilet', the response would probably be, 'Oh, me too!' But, to millions of people, this problem actually ruins their lives. Many such sufferers are in executive jobs, or looking after a family; some are women - most are men. For many, their subconscious is programmed to remain 'macho', so they develop a secret phobia. They worry where the toilets might be on a plane, on holiday, at a friend's house, or in a business meeting. Their flow of urine might start and stop, or not start at all (misfire). Thinking they're being watched, or keeping people waiting, worry can set in. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
