The Paruresis Treatment System review
A private at-home programme for shy bladder, the anxiety kind where you just can't go

Is it worth it?
If you're reading this you probably know the drill already. You plan journeys around which places have a lockable cubicle. You stand there willing something to happen while somebody waits behind you, and nothing does. Maybe you've turned down a job, or a trip, or spent a week dreading a workplace drug test. It's isolating, and most people never say a word about it to anyone. This is a self-help package aimed at exactly that. It was put together with a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and other contributors, and it treats shy bladder as an anxiety problem rather than a plumbing one, which is how the condition is generally understood. The idea is to break the loop where fear tightens everything up and the failure then confirms the fear. What you actually do is read and work through exercises at home, in your own time, with nobody knowing. For a lot of people that privacy is the whole appeal, because the alternative is saying the words out loud to a GP. Be clear on what it isn't. It's not therapy and there's nobody checking on you. The page promises fast results and says it's completely guaranteed, without saying how fast or what the guarantee covers. If yours is severe, or sits inside broader anxiety, treat this as a sensible first step rather than the whole answer.
Pros
- Completely private, nothing to explain to a doctor
- One off payment, no ongoing subscription
- Offline print and CD option if you'd rather not have it on a device
- Framed around anxiety, which matches how paruresis is normally understood
Cons
- No price, page count or time commitment shown anywhere on the page
- The guarantee is mentioned but the terms and refund window aren't spelled out
- Entirely self directed, so no support if you stall partway through
What you get
Two formats: an instant download edition, or a print and CD set sent to you. The material is a step by step system developed with a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and other contributors, covering what paruresis is, what sets it off, and relaxation and confidence techniques you work through yourself. There's also a free four part email course, plus an FAQ section and a blog on the site.
Before you buy
- Check the price and the exact refund terms on the order page before paying
- Sign up for the free email course first and see if the tone works for you
- If this started suddenly or comes with pain, get a physical cause ruled out by a doctor first
