Urinals could never do. At its worst had some problems in cubicles and only occasionally problems at home. Used to spend a lot of time on the road so services were a nightmare if busy. Used to dread concerts, sports matches or events. Used to get very drunk if I went to pubbing but even 8 pints didnt work in the end. Now services urinals fine. Paddington station fine. Sometimes a problem if someone I know really well is stood right next to me but even managed that recently. I have learned that just as the brain can learn fear, it can also unlearn it but it takes time, courage and determination Hypnosis will only help if its used as a tool to help with systematic desensitisation. Noone can hypnotise you to make the problem go away. (Unless maybe you are one of the 10% of highly suggestible people)
