Hello, As the women's coordinator for the International Paruresis Association (IPA) in the USA, I wanted to direct your attention to some materials I prepared at http://paruresis.org/womens_resources.htm. I have also written a book specifically for women with shy bladder syndrome, which I hope to publish or self-publish early next year. In it, I document the steps which lead to my recovery from paruresis after a 40-year-long battle, as well as provide other important information. Along with Ruth Lippin, MSW, I have also co-facilitated two womens'-only workshops, each held in Chicago and quite successful. We may offer another in 2008, depending on interest. If any of you would like further information, please write to me at olmert@aol.com and make sure you include the subject heading of "female paruretic" or words to that effect. Good luck to all of you. Best, Carol
