How To Stop Shy Bladder (Paruresis)
Having a shy bladder is a social anxiety disorder. Put simply, it’s the inability to urinate in the presence of other people – whether they’re real people or imaginary.
In its mildest form, your bashful bladder syndrome can be just an occasional nuisance. At its most severe, the problem means that you can only urinate when you are at home, which can make for all sorts of issues and problems in your daily life.
There are a number of ways to reduce a shy bladder problem, such as drinking less. A number of people also get over the problem by making sure that they choose quiet restrooms or a stall rather than a urinal. But these are only ways to alleviate the problem, rather than solve it.
Using an anti-anxiety medicine can help the problem, but many people would consider that to be still covering up the problem. The anxiety has stemmed from somewhere and the medicine often only treats the outward symptoms.
There are workshops that are run in various locations. If your problem is severe, searching out one of these may be the best treatment for you. You’ll meet fellow sufferers and be introduced to a variety of methods to deal with the problem.
It’s also quite common to use hypnosis to stop shy bladder. Hypnosis works by helping you to change your response. It will work with your subconscious mind to help you to overcome the problem of paruresis. All you need to do is listen to the hypnosis session on your iPod or other mp3 player.
