There is a solution!

Paruresis has many other 'non-clinical' names such as bashful bladder, pee shyness, stage fright, and shy bladder. It's described as a traumatic psychological condition that means an individual is not able to use the bathroom whenever they're under the impression other people can see and hear them. Also, situations such as being on a moving vehicle like a aircraft or a bus can prohibit an individual from being able to use the bathroom.

Paruresis certainly isn't something one should feel ashamed about. Did you know that about seven percent of the population are affected by the disorder? The thing is, because it's so embarrassing, people are unwilling to discuss it and it never gets rectified. The condition can also endanger your level of health and wellness. Many people start consuming less fluid so they don’t have to go when they are out and some people have revealed not urinating for as long as 10, 12, 16, or even 20 hours due to the fact they could not find a ‘safe’ toilet. This is very distressing on the body's major organs such as the bladder and kidneys. One may also experience kidney stones or cystitis as a result, which can be extremely painful.

The pause experienced prior to peeing is a natural survival mechanism. Your brain wants to be 100% certain the area is safe before going ahead and urinating. The issue with this slight pause before releasing is that for Paruresis sufferers, it sends stress signals to the brain. As a result, this further delays the process and a vicious cycle starts. Then as their anxiety rises, the human body interprets the environment as not being safe, leading to the internal sphincter to shut and make urination impossible.

This condition can have a truly draining and even incapacitating effect on a person’s life. To give you an example, chronic sufferes of the condition often even struggle 'going' in their own home if they hear others there.

Paruresis is often traced back to emotional, physical or sexual abuse. However, the large majority of Paruresis sufferers blame a specific, traumatic event that usually transpired in their early teenage years. These incidents generally involve some type of teasing or harassment whilst trying to use the restroom.

Your subconscious mind is extremely powerful; if it feels you need to be secured, you won't be able to urinate.

Hypnotherapy is the one and only cure. It will retrain your unconscious mind to feel calm so that you can pee normally. Just imagine being able to leave your home without giving a second thought as to where you will be able to urinate in safety. This needs to be taken care of today; don't you think?
