I have spoken to a good friend, who was one of my good friends t...

Survival Skills for People with Paruresis
Anyone who has suffered with paruresis for any length of time has developed ‘survival skills’ to help them cope in life. This might mean simple things like leaving a party with an excuse to go home to get something you forgot (and of course have a pee while at home). Some of the ones I found helpful...

Re: Hello Folks
Hi Michael, Welcome to the Paruresis Association of Australia (PAA) web site. Part of recovery from this social anxiety disorder is to talk to others about it. It helps remove the secrecy we have all used during our lives to avoid the embarrassment of having others find out about it. The Sydney Supp...

Newspaper Paruresis Article
A good newspaper article Seattle Times (from IPA site). Worth the read..

Articles like this should help to get the message out to the public. It would be great to see something like this in an Australian paper.

Re: disability support pension claim for paruresis
Hi Stan, Sorry for the delay in answering your post. My reply is also fairly long, and rambly as well, but I hope it is of some help to you. To answer your basic question in your first paragraph. Yes, during the years I have spoken to a couple of GP’s and a psychologist about my paruresis. None of t...

Re: Vivtorian Toilets - Graduated Exposure
Hi Jack, You can always visit some you think may be suitable. Just walk in and wash your hands and have a look around etc., to see if you think it will be suitable for the level of pee budy practice you are up to. I am amazed at the differences in design here in Sydney, it must be the same in Victor...

Re: List of good toilets for exposure practice
Today I found another McDonalds with an excellent layout in Sydney. It is the big, fairly new one on General Holmes Drive, Mascot, just before you get to the airport when driving north. I had to pickup a friend and as I was running early so stopped for a coffee and toasted sandwich. I had about a 6/...

Ultrasound of Prostate & Bladder
I am glad I am much improved with my paruresis. Today I had to have tests on my urethra, prostate, kidneys & bladder . This involved drinking 1 litre of water 1 1/2 hrs before so that my bladder would be full. This brought back all sorts of memories from AP Workshops !! Anyway before the ultrasound ...
