Hey Pete, I've had quite a bit success with it, i would definitely recommend doing it because it has helped me massively with my recovery, I haven't fully mastered it but it helps me immensely when i go out not just because it helps me to actually go but a big part of it is the mental reassurance that that I can make my self go, don't make the mistake of using it in a too stressful situation because you need to gradually build up because for me if I'm really stressed in a bathroom because I haven't desensitised enough for that particular situation the breath hold won't fully work I've found. If you have any other questions just message me

Dear David I'm Italian, so it is difficult and expensive to attend any workshop. But I have had an e-mail exchange with Andrew, and I'm trying to do-it-myself. Of course the results are mild, but encouraging. Could you explain me what the breath-holding technique consist of? Thanks Nick

Try the USA site, there is a detailed guide to doing this. It helps a lot for me, but takes practice.
