Hypnotherapy for toilet anxiety

Toilet anxietyHaving anxiety about needing the toilet (toilet anxiety) is surprisingly common. We probably see 2 or 3 new cases a month.

Although every case is different, they all share similar characteristics. The typical triggers generally involve believing they will need to use the toilet but for some reason, it will be difficult. Generally, the reasons will be quite specific and often very narrow. i.e. it might be whilst driving and encountering a traffic jam or it could be whilst out shopping and being unable to find a public toilet.

They will often try to use the toilet frequently before going out, sometimes 5 or 6 times. They will often avoid eating or drinking before going out as well.

This type of agoraphobia behaviour can be very debilitating indeed for the sufferer. They may not go out socially to things like restaurants or the movies, even though they know that there are toilets there. They may not travel on public transport, even trains or coaches with toilets on board.

The anxiety is heightened when there is only one toilet. As they will worry that someone will be using it when they need to use it. So they may get very anxious at a party for example if a queue for the toilet develops.

They may become very anxious in these sort of situations. Sometimes they can have a panic attack at a party or social situation and have to return home where they feel safe.

Is this your journey to work?

Toilet anxiety needs no evidence

Even though the sufferer may have never had the experience where they have wet or soiled themselves in public, and have no evidence that it will indeed ever happen. The lack of evidence will do nothing to lessen the fear. They may, for example, need the toilet and have to hold it for an hour or more. This for most people would be evidence that they are capable of holding it for a reasonable amount of time to facilitate getting to a toilet. However, for the toilet anxiety sufferer, this simple piece of evidence will be completely ignored as that does not fit in with their current beliefs.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) sufferers often suffer from toilet anxiety and it will quite often exacerbate the IBS by raising stress levels, which of course feeds their toilet anxiety.

How can hypnotherapy help with toilet anxiety?

Toilet anxiety can only exist if the client has the belief that they will not make it to a toilet. For most people, this fear is tempered by the belief that they can hold it until they reach a toilet. Essentially it is a confidence issue, the confidence in their body to deal with the situation when it arises.

By using hypnotherapy we are able to deliver the suggestion directly to the subconscious part of the mind. Once that suggestion is taken on by the subconscious, the beliefs change and then ultimately the behaviours fall in line.

There may be numerous situations that trigger their fears. However, normally we only have to tackle a few of them before the subconscious gets the message. At that point, the fear collapses and the anxiety falls away.

The specialists at the Surrey Institute have a vast experience dealing with toilet anxiety and can generally resolve it within 4 to 6 sessions.

If you have toilet anxiety, be rest assured that you do not have to live with it and the problems it brings. By using hypnotherapy for toilet anxiety we can help you to get rid of it for good.

If you would like to find out more about treating anxiety please visit our main anxiety page.

Not nearby? No Problem

Since the COVID pandemic, we have been working with clients to help them overcome their toilet anxiety on line. The interesting thing is that it appears to be just as effective as in-person sessions. We are now working with clients from all over the globe and helping them to return to a more “normal” and carefree life.

    Hi! I’m 23 years old and I live in California. I’ve been struggling with toilet anxiety for a couple of years now and it’s been getting worse, so I decided to lookup to see if it was common or not and I’m really surprised because this whole page described exactly how I feel mostly of the times. I don’t really can’t afford therapy right now but at least gives me hope that one day I’ll be able to fix this problem and have a normal life again.

      Hi Debbie

      I’m afraid I can’t. There are very few Hypnotherapists that specialise in this sort of issue and currently, our professional association will not allow us to work face-to-face. However, since the lockdown, we have been working online with clients to great effect. It seems to be as good and possibly a little better (not sure why that would be).
      Kind regards

    Hi I have suffered from toilet anxiety for around twelve years now, I have had CBT and therapy sessions which did help a little, but I still struggle day to day. My family stress whenever we travel anywhere due to my issues which have lead to nearly missing flights for holidays and I never go on trips.

      Hi Angela
      Yes, this is a common problem. The approach I would take would be for you to use hypnotherapy prove to your subconscious mind that you can trust your body. Further, I would start to change the thoughts, feelings, behaviours and ultimately the beliefs. Once the beliefs have changed the problem is resolved.

      I’m sorry about that. As you are so far away we could perhaps do one live session and then some sessions over skype or facetime. The first session would have to be face to face though.

I can recommend Graham Russell he is just north of Norwich but still a fair distance from you I’m afraid. He has recently moved and his website is not working yet but it may be up any day now. But he has a wealth of experience with this type of anxiety and I can highly recommend him.

    Hi,

    I have a huge amount of anxiety around using the toilet in public places, but it doesn’t quite fit your description here? It’s not a problem with finding a toilet in time, but being overheard etc. It’s affected me my whole adult life (30 now) and has been dictating my day to day life. I get very intense feelings of shame and humiliation when I do try to go around others, and this creates all the anxiety around going to the toilet. Panic attacks, planning my whole day around going to the toilet, crying in toilets at work if i need to go etc. I have avoided holidays, social events, avoiding visiting friends and family. Would you still count this as a toilet phobia? And are there any support groups for this kind of thing?

    Thanks,
    K

    I’m from the wirral, but i can travel as far as liverpool. I have suffered with this since for 12 years, i’m 24 now. Can’t get the bus/train, have trouble traveling anywhere, trouble doing my driving lessons, even though they are only a hour. Troubles with work. Only seems to be getting worse. I have had previous therapy before, more than 12/14 sessions, tried several medications which didn’t help either. Any advice would be good to get my life back on track.

      Hi Julia

      I am reticent to recommend any hypnotherapist that I don’t know especially for anxiety as there are a lot of hypnotherapist playing at it. I see client after client that has tried hypnotherapy but have got little or no effect from it. If you go here https://www.hypnotherapists.org.uk/therapist-finder/addr/crewe/ it will give you a list of hypnotherapists in your area. I would suggest talking to them and trying to establish if they have specialist experience in the type of anxiety you experience. Judging by the page you commented on very few hypnotherapist work with toilet anxiety.

      If I can be of any further help please feel free to give me a call.

      Kind regards

      P.S. I know Crewe is a long way from us, but just a thought we are about to announce another one of our 1 day anxiety boot camps for anxiety. This is where we have a small number of people with various anxiety issues and multiple therapists. We work with them in groups and one-to-one to tackle the various issues and although it is an intense day it has shown to be very effective and of course it can work if you live too far to have weekly sessions. If you want to hear about that and other help we offer why not join my anxiety tips and trick email list. Where I write regular emails to help people around the globe with anxiety. It is completely free and can be found here.

    I have had this problem for about 4 years now and it is spiralling out of control. I have no idea where it came from but it’s gone from me having a normal life, to me obsessing about the toilet when I’m out and about. It’s got the point where I can’t go on a bus and even when there is a toilet (such as a train) I get scared that people are judging me that Im going to the toilet too often. I live in Kent and an wondering if there’s anyone closer that could be recommended please? Thank you.

    My 11 year old son has terrible toilet anxiety, panics about being out and not being near a toilet. Can make himself physically sick when trying to go out as a way of preventing any trips. Recent holiday was so bad as spent ages waiting outside toilets for him. So stressful. Affecting family life as nightmare trying to go out anywhere. We live in KT3.

      Hi Sarah

      I’m really sorry I have only just seen this. I will pass it on to the Paediatric hypnotherapist Paul White. He will respond to you soon. However, having said that I am sure he will be able to help your son as he has worked with children with similar problems many time before.

    Hello.
    How quickly can these session help?
    Iv suffered with a form of toilet anxiety for the past two years but only just come across the idea that hypnotherapy could help.
    I get married very soon, and this fear is starting to make me really panic. I live in London, could you suggest anywhere to help? Thanks

      Hi Harrie

      Normally, we can make significant changes withing three sessions but it can take up to six. Where abouts in London are you? It’s a big place!

      There are not many hypnotherapists that specialise in this issue. Depending where you are it may be worth coming to us. Our Wallington clinic is 25 minutes from Victoria by train. Let me know your postcode and I will try and find someone local to you. Do not post it on here use the form here http://www.sich.co.uk/clinic-wallington-surrey/

    Hi Paul
    I am a 27 year old MA student and have had this phobia since I was 10 years old. It is crippling my life and I am desperate for some help. I have had CBT which helped to get me out of the house (I stayed in for 3 years). Would hypnotherapy help me?

      Hi Anne

      Yes I think it would we have had significant success with this problem over the years although it will depend on your triggers and thoughts and ultimately if you are ready to change them.

    Hi,
    Only really admitted to myself that I have had this problem for several years and I am now 19. I struggle to commute to work and as soon as someone asks me to go somewhere I immediately think of the nearest toilet to that place. Would CBT/Hypnotherapy work? Who do I contact? I have a few holidays this year to unfamiliar places and am worried about this.

      Hi Sam

      Yes I think hypnotherapy could help you. This is a form of agoraphobia that we work with quite regularly. Where are you based? Let me know and I can probably recommend someone close to you.

      Hi Marc

      This is something that we have treated many times before and hypnotherapy has shown to be very effective at changing the thoughts and behaviours around this type of anxiety.

      Kind regards
