In the workshop we are taught about relaxation and how to try and control it when trying to use a public toilet. It's only since this that i have become aware that my shoulders are up and unrelaxed. I now take a breath and find that my shoulders drop down. I have to repeat this process as many times as necessary and it can make some difference. Right now as i write this blog i realise i am in an uptight mode so spotting this is becoming easier. Before the workshop i would go into a gents and when i was alone trying to start to pee i have suffered from what i have recently decided to call "Entrance door anxiety". This is when i worry that someone or more than one person is going to walk in and stand at a urinal near me before i have started to pee because when this happens i cannot pee. I can often get jumpy when someone walks in due to my anxiety. Now i hope that the door will open because it will help me to desense when someone else is in the proximity. I seem to be able to start peeing with very little if any latency so when someone comes in i can continue and leave when i am ready.
