Just back from the beginners workshop and to anybody considering whether to attend one in the future i would say go for it, you will not regret it. I, like all the others, felt anxious prior to going but Andrew and the other participants were very friendly and you soon realise that you are all in the same position and that nobody is going to judge you. It's held in a very relaxed / informal manner and you are not put under any pressure to go beyond what you feel comfortable in doing. I made a fair amount of progress and the drop off in the level of anxiety has been significant. I think the key points for me are to only attempt de-sensing when i REALLY need to pee, to relax the abdomen and thinking that it really doesn't matter if i manage to go or not. I can always leave and try again later. I would like to thank Andrew for giving up his time and for all his hard work. It is very much appreciated. Martin
