I have this very strange thing that happens to me. It's common enough that it happens to enough people, and so far I have not been able to change it with NLP. Now that isn't to say that I can't but so far all the different methods I have used still haven't changed the response to one that I'd rather have.

I have what could be classified as a social phobia of using washrooms while , from what I can tell, I have a time limit(which causes me to be anxious), or if people are in a close proximity. What happens is that my sympathetic nervous system kicks into overdrive and my heart begins pumping which actually facilitates the retention of fluids.

Now, I have made significant progress with this issue(ie I can usually get to the point where I wait out the adrenaline rush to relax to the point where I can force it), but it is still not to the point of my freedom. It was much worse as a teenager and kept me from experiencing many things for the fear of not being able to go was a quite real and tested fear that I didn't want to die because I could not take a piss!

I have done the frogs to princes double dissociation, done the scrambling of history and yet I still get the feelings. I could have not done it right, so what I am asking for is that if you could offer anything else or to possibly show me what I need to do to destroy that pattern of unconscious behavior I would be so incredibly happy. And to note, I do smoke weed occasionally and it makes it worse, only really in social situations, when I at home or in a location that no one will see/hear me then I am fine.

So far what I have developed for survival means are these.
1. Sometimes making other noises as to make it seem like I am not just standing there doing nothing. (for some reason me thinking that they don't know what I am doing helps)
2. Repeating things. This is like finding something that will distract my mind. Using confusing statements like "They cannot hear me not pissing" kind of thing. Or reading something in the shelf as a distracting
3. Sometimes humming music or singing lyrics helps, but then again I don't want people to hear me.
4. In a real pinch, I have held my breath to get extreme relaxation by depriving myself of oxygen.
