I'll second that! Good to catch up with some people from the previous workshop. I'd made reasonable progress since the beginner's workshop in January, and tried to keep challenging myself since then. This workshop was very focussed on intensive practising, at various public locations around Manchester city centre.I found this very heplful, particularly in coping with busier situations and 'going' with other people in close proximity. I continued the theme on a subsequent holiday, using urinals in 'harder' locations like stations and airports with decent success. I'm definitely making progress in tackling this lifelong problem! Thanks to the volunteers for their time and wisdom.

Practice is imperative George so make sure you get as much as possible from now on. I'm glad you went to the recent workshop and met some great people. I meet up with someone for desensing and support every month thanks to this message board. Last time someone who'd desensed with us several times last year came along for the first time since December (due to other commitments, not for any other reason) so we were very pleased to see him back. He was also very pleased to have us to chat to again and sent me a thank you text the next day. Now knowing about his commitments we have arranged to contact him one week before each meet up so he can change them to keep his day free. Just being with people with this personal problem helps us all. I wish you the best of luck.
