Bathrooms Make Me Nervous is the first book to explore the shy bladder condition (paruresis) from a woman’s point of view. Written by Carol Olmert, the IPA’s former Women’s Coordinator and recovered paruresis sufferer, it offers clear and effective information on understanding, coping with, and recovering from the phobia.

You will discover:

  • you’re not the only woman in the world who suffers
  • why a female’s bathroom experience differs from a male’s (and the implications)
  • practical suggestions and extensive illustrations that help apply the information and techniques
  • updated treatment methods
  • inspirational stories from other females who have coped and recovered

From practical tips to stories of recovery, this complete handbook offers hope and inspiration to bathroom-challenged women. For further information, please visit the official website at http://www.BathroomsMakeMeNervous.com or purchase the book at Lulu.com.
