WORKSHOP LEADERS:

Dan Rocker, LCSW : as the President of the International Paruresis Association, and the Co-Director of the Shy Bladder Center, he is uniquely qualified to treat the social anxiety of avoidant paruresis.

Johannes Lanzinger, MSc: Clinical psychologist at Phobius, the Phobia Center in Vienna, experienced in treating paruresis.

WORKSHOP INFO:

A workshop supported by the International Paruresis Association (IPA) is a safe, structured program to help you begin to recover from paruresis. Much of what happens involves relearning how to urinate in the presence of others. Yes, you will practice peeing near others in a structured, discreet, and safe environment.

RELUCTANT TO SIGN UP?

Many attendees report that they were nervous before the workshop and quite reluctant to sign up, but after the first few hours wondered why they hadn’t sought help for their paruresis earlier. The fearful feelings are normal, so don’t worry too much about them, just bring them with you to the workshop and anticipate meeting a group of people just like yourself. You’ll feel at ease right away.

Workshop: 250 EUR

Workshop and private hotel room: 400 EUR (2 nights, single room, incl. breakfast)
