Dr. Michael Mendelsoln, a former client and member of the International Paruresis Association (IPA) asked me to create a hypnosis program to help men and women suffering from avoidant paruresis. Avoidant Paruresis, otherwise known as "Bashful Bladder", "Shy-Bladder", "Pee-Shy" or psychogenic urinary retention is the inability to pass urine in the presence of others.

Avoidant paruresis can start at any age and affects mainly boys or men, although girls and women can also suffer from it. It's difficult to estimate how many people suffer from the condition, but it is estimated that up to 7 per cent of the population may have paruresis...that's 17 million people.

Hypnosis…when a motivated client and a skilled practitioner work together, can save the client time, energy and effort in obtaining results. It can help you to walk into any restroom, urinate, then wash your hands and leave and no longer think about this issue.

Hypnosis can help you to urinate confidently, comfortably and naturally.

It can help you to feel normal instead of "pee-shy" or abnormal in any way.

End of story.

Why?

Because hypnosis is a powerful method for accessing your subconscious mind and creating change. 

Fears, lack of confidence and self image issues are all commonly amenable to hypnotic suggestion and all play a part in creating the condition of paruresis or the inability to pass urine in the presence of others.

Hypnosis is also useful in helping people with many physical issues as well.

For example, the National Institutes of Health, in a landmark Technology Assessment Conference issued a Consensus Statement, October 18, 1995 found strong evidence for the use of hypnosis in alleviating pain associated with cancer.  In addition, the panel suggested the effectiveness of hypnosis in other chronic pain conditions which include irritable bowel syndrome, oral mucositis, temporomandibular disorders, and tension headaches.”

This is a strong statement coming from a group of the top scientists in the United States. So why not use hypnosis for  paruresis? Hypnotists in the past have really not focused on the area of paruresis...or they have not focused on it in the way Dr. Grossman has, plus he also recommends that users of his CDs practice graduated exposure along with hypnosis for accelerated results.

NOTE: Full information on graduated exposure is included with this hypnosis program. We recommend that you contact the International Paruresis Association (IPA) for more information on graduated exposure, forums, support and other information.

Our Hypnosis for Paruresis CD program contains 4 hypnosis sessions that will increase your self-confidence and self-esteem and change your self-image so you no longer think of yourself as “pee shy” or “paruretic” or “abnormal” in any way.

With hypnosis we work on several levels at once, the physical level by dealing with what is going on in the body itself, helping the physical part that needs to relax to calm down and relax, and the part that needs to constrict to tense up so you can urinate.

On subconscious levels we work on the belief system and the self image. We even use a subtle form of “age regression” to go back to when the problem originated to help you discharge any emotion still connected to the event.

You weren't born with avoidant paruresis. Paruresis started somewhere and you became conditioned to avoid or fear the restroom situation over some period of time.

Hypnosis is a normal, natural state of mind. Almost everyone can be hypnotized. Certainly if you’ve read this far you can be hypnotized. It feels very relaxing. The side effects are all beneficial and enjoyable.

No one takes away your power from you during hypnosis. In fact, the opposite is true. Hypnosis gives you power...the power of control over your body and mind.

During hypnosis you are aware of everything…in fact your awareness increases.  If you haven’t been hypnotized before it is certainly something worth pursuing for self- improvement even if paruresis were not an issue.

The four hypnosis sessions should be listened to on an alternating basis until your symptoms are eliminated. Listening once per day is recommended.

Session One:
Session One contains the general instructions that will help you to enjoy the experience of hypnosis and help you to understand what you need to do to get the most out of the 4 session program in the shortest amount of time possible. You'll understand and recognize the feelings and sensations that occur during hypnosis so you'll be able to recognize them in the future. You'll be given suggestions to give you control so you can open your eyes and end the experience any time you choose to do so. The session focuses on change, confidence, encoding into the nervous system the ability to urinate confidently, comfortably and naturally...something you'll hear over and over throughout all the sessions.

Session Two:
Session Two takes you into a very relaxing state of hypnosis. You'll find that it becomes easier to relax and let go each time you listen. Once again, suggestions are given for your safety and comfort. The purpose of this program is to help you develop total confidence in yourself, to not care or be concerned about what other people think of you, and of course, to urinate confidently, comfortably and naturally.

Session Three:
Session Three takes you to a beautiful tropical island where you will relax completely. Once you are completely relaxed the process helps you to find your true self in the very center of you where you are supremely confident. The suggestions help you develop a firm grasp of what you can and what you can't do...to find success. The process helps you to create a VMI...visual mental image...of you being clever and creating change in your life.

Session Four:
Session Four eliminates negative experiences from the past regarding restroom situations and urinating. It leaves you with post hypnotic suggestions that will help you to urinate confidently, comfortably and naturally. This session is the heart of the program and I recommend that you listen to it most often.

Read what others are saying about the program:

"I have been participating as a member of the International Paruresis Association (IPA) for over three years. The main philosophy of this organization, the only organization dedicated to helping people with this social phobia, is that one can recover by use of graduated exposure techniques...though it can take months or years (until Dr. Grossman's program). The IPA offers people comfort in knowing that their problem has a name and they share it with many others.

I have used the graduated exposure techniques during local support group meetings and weekend workshops offered by the IPA and it has made a huge difference in my life and in my ability to use public restrooms.  But there were still times and situations when the phobia could return and I would find myself shying away from an activity or just being uncomfortable.  Progress seemed to be two steps forward and one step back.  I could make huge strides during workshops but not be able to duplicate them later.  I had consciously conquered the shame and embarrassment of Shy Bladder but the subconscious, negative messages were still there.

I spent six private sessions working with Dr. Grossman on this issue and found that my experience in public restrooms shifted in terms of how I felt about it and about myself.  I found that I just felt normal.  I really began to see myself as normal from a new perspective.  And the sessions were incredibly relaxing and enjoyable.  Of course, my success rate in using public restrooms has increased considerably.

I also knew that phobias like this one can be stubborn and that repetition is the best way to rewrite those old messages.  So I urged Dr. Grossman to produce a program that included all of the issues and exercises that we had used in our private sessions, a program that could be used to compliment the graduated exposure practice that I was already doing and thereby speed my recovery.  And that program is now available on Dr. Grossman's web site as a package of four CD's.  Dr. Grossman is a talented and internationally recognized hypnotist who has helped people with all kinds of concerns.  In this program he leads the listener through a series of processes that deal with all of the underlying issues that people with Shy Bladder Syndrome face. If you suffer from Shy Bladder Syndrome, this program can give you a whole new lease on life."

“This is a powerful hypnosis program for the treatment and cure of Avoidant Paruresis, sometimes referred to as Shy Bladder Syndrome, a debilitating Social Anxiety Disorder. Dr. Kenneth Grossman has carefully designed and recorded hypnotic suggestions that address the issues underlying this disorder.  Suggestions aimed at the removal of self-consciousness, past trauma, and past repressed resentments associated with public urination are embedded deeply into the subconscious mind and likely into the individual’s actual neurobiology. One of the dynamics behind the production and maintenance of this disorder is repeated anxiety arousal with associated negative cognition's.  This program is just what is indicated to counter the negative beliefs and reprogram the mind through the repetition of positive cognition's and accurate positive thoughts and beliefs. I have not in the past 25 years heard of a program that was anything like this. Most hypnosis work is aimed at getting to the root of the problem, but not enough work is done on simply reprogramming the mind through repeatedly reinforcing the positive and truthful cognitions and positive suggestions.  I am grateful to Dr. Grossman for developing this program and for Dr. Michael Mendelsohn, a fellow member of IPA, for encouraging this project.  It will be extremely helpful and a real God send to many.”
