Hi Tom. It does definitely help - if you go in with the right mindset. I like to think Paruresis is not 'a fear of peeing', but 'a fear of not peeing'. By going in there and deliberately not peeing, whilst focusing on being relaxed and cancelling out any negative thoughts, you are taking control of your anxieties, eventually eliminating them. Only once you are relaxed will you be able to cope much better, and will find yourself able to perform in more situations. Best of luck
