A Guidebook for Women with Urination Anxiety (Shy Bladder)
Carol Olmert

"For more than 40 years, I suffered from a severe case. Almost every waking moment my attention was focused on everyday rituals - the when, where, how and whether I could urinate that day and the consequences of not being able to do so. When am I going to find that next safe bathroom? If I'm thirsty, can I risk drinking something now? As a result, I missed out on all kinds of life-affirming activities and opportunities. In short, my condition ran my life - it defined who I was to a large degree - and I felt very alone and isolated because of it. After many years of struggle, I have now completely recovered. As a result, my life has changed in many positive ways. I want to share my long journey with you through this book. In it I provide female and male paruretics - and those who treat and support them - with the wisdom that I and others have gained from our personal experiences with this condition."
