Hi Susan What a frightening experience for you. Part of the problem can be that experiences like that end up linking a toilet with failure, so causing you to expect difficulty. When you go out, do not wait till you need the loo; go in early just to check it out; do your hair, touch up your make up, wash your hands, go in the loo and "fake" it - i.e. go through the motions even to you don't need a wee. Take your time, and get comfortable with the place. Then later don't wait till you are bursting, but go when there is a comfortable urge. Do like before: hair, makeup, and then take your time in the loo itself. Treat the place as a rest room, a place to take your time in. Look on our website for the list of all the techniques for relaxation, attitude etc etc. Practice them every time you go especially home. cheers Andrew
