Just had a look at the Pee Aid app - as far as I can see it's not hypnosis, so probably wasn't what the first poster in this thread was referring to. What it appears to do is play you the sound of running water... if that is enough to make things easier for you then I wouldn't bother with the app - you could record that sound yourself onto the phone using the voice memos function and then just play it back when the time comes. I guess you could even try that at a urinal if you were using headphones... and in fact listening to headphones may block out knowlege of other people around which could help! While searching I did come across a more expensive iTunes hypnosis download - that's a more regular "song" format - ie you listen to it. I've actually purchased hypnosis tracks before from the company that produces that one - you don't listen to it at the time you need to go, but rather at a time when you can relax and not be disturbed. The ones I bought (not for paruresis) didn't do much for me, but maybe I'm someone who doesn't respond well to hypnosis. I would recommend the workshops though - I'm a few weeks on from the beginners one now and things are a lot better than before I attended. Not perfect but then I'll be on the follow up workshop soon and looking forward to further progress then.
