The Paruresis Cure System Ebook

Description

Take back control, at your own pace, in private

If you’ve ever waited for an empty restroom, skipped drinks before going out, or turned down a trip because of bathroom worries, you know how much shy bladder can shrink your life. The Paruresis Cure System is an at-home shy bladder self-help ebook that gives you a clear, step-by-step program you can work through at home, without drugs, and without having to explain anything to anyone.

This is for you if…

• You can go at home but freeze in public restrooms, at work, or at friends’ houses
• You plan your day around “safe” bathrooms or cut back on fluids
• You dread drug tests, flights, stadiums or road trips
• You’ve tried “just relaxing” and it hasn’t worked

What’s inside the second edition

• 12 short chapters, one for each week: read one a week alongside the 12-week program, or at your own pace. The whole book is 44 pages, so you spend your time practicing, not reading
• A clear explanation of what’s happening in your body, the common triggers, and a 12-question self-check you retake in Weeks 1, 6 and 12 to see your progress
• The Practice Card method: before each practice, write what you fear and how likely it feels. Afterwards, write what actually happened. This prediction-testing approach is built on the newest exposure therapy research
• Your step-by-step ladder: how to build it, when to move on, and what to do when the flow doesn’t start
• Tools for the hard moments: slow breathing, Red Sock relaxation, the RIDE technique, an optional breath-hold, and how to use them without letting them become a crutch
• Real-life situations: work, travel, events, holidays, drug tests, and notes for women
• Your bad-day plan and graduation, plus booster practices to keep your gains and answers to common questions
• Worksheets, Practice Cards, a quick-reference card and guided scripts you can print or record
• Clear safety guidance, including safe fluid limits for practice and when to see a doctor
• Read it in the Paruresis Cure app: start minutes from now on your phone, tablet or computer, with your place saved on every device. A PDF download is included too.

For the best results, pair it with the 12-week program

The Paruresis Cure System works hand in hand with the 12-week Paruresis Cure Program. The program is interactive: it guides you through the book week by week (each chapter matches one week of the program), with a Daily 5 check-in, your own exposure ladder and practice log, weekly lessons, goals, a private journal, check-ins and 8 guided audio sessions narrated by Noah or Samantha from the Paruresis Cure Podcast to keep you on track. For the best results, we recommend the program, and the full ebook is already included in it.

Prefer to read on your own and go at your own pace? The ebook on its own is a great choice, with everything you need to get started.

About the author

The original edition of The Paruresis Cure System was written by Dr. Anum Khan, MBBS, M.D., whom we commissioned in 2018. This second edition was revised and expanded by the Paruresis Cure team, and rebuilt as 12 weekly chapters, with a prediction-testing practice method based on the latest exposure therapy research, real-life guidance, safety information and worksheets. The approach is drug-free. Results vary from person to person, and if your shy bladder is severe, it works best alongside support from a therapist trained in CBT.
