Step 3. Get to 40 seconds. Keep practicing every day, as many times a day as you can. At first, practice while your bladder is empty. Eventually after a few days or weeks you will be able to hold your breath for longer. Keep practicing until you can get to 40 seconds of holding your breath at about 20% lung capacity. Pay attention to how your body relaxes. Once up to 40 seconds, practice holding your breath standing up or walking around.

Step 4. Breath-holding during urination. Now, you are ready to practice in real life. This step will depend on how bad your pees shyness is. If you feel confident enough, you can start using this technique in public right away. Others with more severe bladder shyness may need to practice at home or in front of a trusted loved one first.

Drink plenty of fluid. Wait until you have to go badly.

Take a normal breath while waiting to pee. Then exhale immediately until you have about 20% of your breath left in your lungs. Then, hold your breath. As you hold your breath, after a while you will notice the “bottom drop out.” Your muscles will relax around your bladder and sphincter and the flow should start. Most of the time, you will begin to urinate well before reaching 40 seconds. Continue to hold your breath for a few more seconds until the flow is strong. You may need to breathe and then hold your breath again if your stream stops midway.

Step 5. Keep practicing. Keep challenging yourself, try to urinate in increasingly more difficult situations. For men, you can practice the breath-hold technique in public stalls first. After you can pee with no problem in a stall, you are ready to move to the urinal. Start peeing in public every day, whether there is someone there or not. Simply use the breath-hold technique and the flow will start. Usually it happens before 40 seconds…and don’t worry, no one will notice that you holding your breath!

Sometimes you may find that your flow stops midway through, if you are still tense or if someone walks in. Don’t panic if this happens. Simply exhale and hold your breath again. After a few seconds, your stream will return.

One more trick to use. You can start holding your breath as you are walking into the bathroom. You don’t need to wait until you get to the urinal. By the time you actually get to the urinal you will be ready to go. If you have to go bad, sometimes you won’t have to wait at all.

Overcoming Bashful Bladder Syndrome & Anxiety

Even after learning the techniques, I still have some anxiety when it came to peeing in public. I was still struggling a bit, which is why spent a lot of my time trying to find the best techniques and treatments to supplement the breath-hold technique. Now, my anxiety is almost gone and I can urinate anywhere I want.

The funny thing is now I notice other guys who can’t pee in public! I want to tell them:

“Hey, I feel your pain, and I know how you can fix it!

My Thoughts On Curing Shy Bladder Syndrome

By on June 11, 2013 in shy bladder

paruresis-cure-shy-bladder-bashful-treatment

People who have never been affected by shy bladder syndrome can’t understand what it’s like. I remember reading an article about paruresis on a popular online news site. The article was pretty straightforward, detailing one man and his struggles with peeing in public. The comments following the story were brutal. About three-quarters of them were from people making fun of those who struggle with shy bladder. It’s funny, because having a shy bladder doesn’t mean you are any less of a man or woman. Among other things, it means you have a strong fight or flight response. Your mind and body are unconsciously looking out for threats, and that causes your body to tense up and makes it almost impossible to pee comfortably.

Facts Aren’t Enough To Cure Paruresis

Unfortunately, knowing all the facts about paruresis does not necessarily mean you will know how to overcome shy bladder syndrome. You may know how many people it affects, and you might know that it’s a psychological disorder. But knowing all that won’t help you fix it.

Paruresis can be debilitating. Because after awhile, it starts to take over your life. The running around and trying to hide your condition from others gets exhausting. We’ve all been there; finding quiet bathrooms, listening for people who might be walking in, and the shame of being unable to void your bladder when someone disturbs you. The discomfort from having to deal with a full bladder. Many of us afflicted by this condition can’t travel for long distances. Some have it so bad they can’t even use the bathroom in their own house if someone else is present. You get sick of it. It seems like such a simple thing to fix, until you are once again stuck in that high-pressure situation, unable to void.

I bought expensive hypnosis downloads. Hypnosis never worked for me. I didn’t find any of them useful at all. Out in the real world I would try and use the bathroom in public after I hypnosis session and I would fail miserably.

But I’m a stubborn person. I wanted a solution. I needed a 100% failsafe cure that would work anytime, any place. I kept hunting online.  Eventually I found what I was looking for. The solution to my problems. I learned the breath-hold technique and combined it with techniques that can be learned within The Paruresis Cure System.

Paruresis Breath-Hold Technique Part 1 Of 2

By on June 10, 2013 in breath-hold technique

shy-bladder-bashful-paruresis-cures

It took many hours of research for me to find the paruresis breath-hold technique. It seemed so simple that I didn’t believe it when I found it. The most “difficult” part of the technique is just learning a few steps that any healthy normal adult can learn to master in just a week or two.

Now, the breath-hold technique alone may not work for everyone. If you have severe paruresis, like I did, you might need additional help. But the breath-hold technique, along with The Paruresis Cure System, can cure shy bladder.

If you are like me, you might have thought that the solution to paruresis can only be found after long hours of therapy or training. But in reality, the cure is simple and take only a few weeks to master.

The Paruresis Breath-Hold Technique

The breath-hold technique is simple. It comes down to this: you must learn to hold your breath for 40 seconds. That’s it. If you can hold your breath for this long, then this technique will help you be able to urinate anywhere. However there are some steps you have to take in order to make the jump from holding your breath to peeing in public.

There aren’t any shortcuts here. You have to be willing to put in a little bit of work to get to where you need to be. However, the nice thing is the work is minimal. As long as you can keep this up for about a week or two and stay consistent you’ll get to where you need to be…. paruresis free. You will be happy with the results. You can learn more and get rid of your bladder shyness by getting yourself The Paruresis Cure System, just click on one of the many links located throughout the site and on this page.

Why Does It Work?

This technique serves to relax your body with a build up of carbon dioxide in your blood from holding your breath. Don’t worry, it isn’t dangerous, no more dangerous than holding your breath for as long as you could underwater when you were a kid.

The carbon dioxide build up relaxes the muscles to the point that you can pee anywhere. Again, the science behind why it works is less important than knowing how to use the techniques. Think of it like driving a car, you don’t need to know how an engine works in order to learn how to drive to the ball game.

Let’s Get Started!

Now let’s go through the step-by-step guide. Depending on your level of shy bladder severity this could take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks to get down.

Step 1. Consult with your doctor. This is extremely important. Please consult with your doctor and let him or her know what the problem is. Paruresis may be the underlying symptom of a more serious medical condition. Make sure that you are physically able and healthy enough to undertake the shy bladder cure training program.

Step 2. Learn to hold your breath. Once you have gotten the go ahead from your doctor, you are ready to move on the next step. It’s very simple. You must practice holding your breath. This step will take the longest, but it is the most important step. It may take you some time to learn to hold your breath comfortably without feeling like you will pass out.

I personally began practicing the breath holding while I was lying down on my back in bed. Once I felt comfortable enough, I moved to practicing while sitting down in a chair. The more you practice, the more quickly you will progress. I personally practiced while I was at work, sitting in my office chair. The nice thing about the exercises is that you can do them anywhere. And no one knows you are holding your breath! Make it into a game, how long can you hold your breath.

Then, I began practicing the breath hold while standing up.For the next week or so you will need to learn to hold your breath. You can do this anywhere, sitting down in your office, or watching TV. At first, start holding your breath for 5 seconds at a time.

Then, try holding it for 10 seconds. Then, 15, 20, until you can hold you breath for 40 seconds. This could take you a few days. Once you can hold your breath for 40 seconds without struggling, you’re ready for the next step…

How I Got Paruresis

How to Get Rid of Shy Bladder –

There are many different reasons why people develop shy bladder, or paruresis. You may have had a bad experience when you were young that triggered this common social anxiety. I personally had a childhood trauma involving public bathrooms…

When I was young I was on a camping trip. I was playing around in a bathroom, climbing up around on top of the stall partitions. My cousin was in the far stall, going number two. No one else was there.

We were talking and laughing and just being dumb kids. As I was climbing around on one of the partitions, I suddenly lost my grip and fell. I smashed face-first into a urinal on the way down. I remember seeing stars, then I think I blacked out briefly. Luckily, I didn’t lose any teeth. But my lip and gums were swollen and huge. Thank goodness, it healed up and there was no record of physical trauma.

But, after that incident I never felt comfortable in public bathrooms again. I started to have a hard time using them.

Avoidant Paruresis

As a boy, it was easier for me to go about my life. I could pee outside. And of course as a grown man, I still have the option of peeing outside. But of course that’s risky since in most places it’s illegal to expose yourself in public.

So just like you, I learned to avoid public restrooms. And when I was forced to go in public,  I avoided urinals and used the stalls instead. Like most of us who suffer from shy bladder, it didn’t get better with age.

But after awhile, it just seemed to be getting worse. I love to travel, but my paruresis meant I couldn’t take long plane rides. For five hours was the maximum, and that was only if I hadn’t had any fluids. So I still traveled, but I was limited obviously on how far I could go. Either short plane rides or travel by car…

Before I found a cure for paruresis online, things came to a head on a plane trip to England. I was on a nine-hour flight and I’d actually bought a external catheter for the trip. This thing was called the Stadium Buddy. Really inconvenient to use, though it actually worked pretty well overall. But it was unwieldy to put on, and in today’s environment with security everywhere, it’s pretty embarrassing to have a catheter and bag of urine strapped to your ankle…. I was disgusted with having a bag of urine on my leg. And even though I was able to use the bag once, I didn’t like it. It was a hassle.

Shy Bladder Cure

I needed something better. I needed a real solution to this problem. I started scouring the Internet for a cure, a real cure for my shy bladder syndrome.

That’s when I found solutions. First, I learned about the paruresis breath-hold technique. For some, it’s all you need. But if you have serious anxiety and need extra help, you can find it from online programs as well. I learned about different books and CD’s available for people who suffer from serious cases of shy bladder. Some programs are good, some are garbage. You can read my review and decide for yourself if these shy bladder remedies are legit or not. I know they worked for me so there’s a good chance they’ll work for you too.

I felt I had nothing to lose but my anxiety, and I was right. I’m glad The Paruresis Cure System is finally available. Now, I can urinate wherever I want, whenever I want after spending countless hours researching the best ways to keep shy bladder at bay and then finally finding TPCS. I recently completed a ten-hour plane ride to South Korea. I used the airplane bathroom to urinate multiple times, and even peed on a moving train! No problems! Let me tell you, it is such a relief to have a comfortable plane ride…And I’ve thrown that damn external catheter in the trash!

Friend, you too can be free of shy bladder syndrome for life….explore my site to learn more.
