If you’ve ever wondered why toilet anxiety feels so physical, even when nothing is actually wrong, this video explains why.

Paul Howard — the world’s leading authority on treating toilet anxiety using hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation, and functional neurology — reveals the real reason your body reacts as if danger is present when it isn’t.

You’ll learn:
• What FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) means and how it relates to toilet anxiety
• Why your brain can send powerful false alarm signals to the body
• How these signals create real sensations of urgency and panic
• Why this isn’t “just anxiety” — and definitely not your fault
• What recovery actually involves — retraining the body’s subconscious alarm system

Toilet anxiety isn’t about toilets — it’s about safety, control, and a misfiring survival response.
When you understand that mechanism, everything changes.

Happy Halloween from SICH. When toilet anxiety tries a jump scare, ask, is the way I am feeling appropriate for the situation I am in. Then, I know I have all the resources within me to deal with whatever emerges. Boo to fear, yes to fun. We are here when you need us.

Life transitions are more than external events, they are internal reorganisations of the self. Old roles fall away and familiar reference points blur.

Toilet Anxiety is a big part of the therapy I do. Here is my latest rant on the issue.

If there’s one thing that makes my blood boil, it’s reading content from so-called experts who clearly have never worked with this condition.

Patrick Grant has it right. Community Clothing

This is from his email yesterday. If we can afford to buy good quality stuff from as close to home as possible, we should. Buy less, buy better.
Or as he puts it “Blackburn Not Black Friday”.

As we agree with everything he says we will leave it in his words.


"Businesses could and should do good for society. They should make and sell objects of real and lasting value, things that give great pleasure and utility to their owners. They should sustain and create good jobs that people are proud to do. And they should do so in a way which minimises, or if possible eliminates, all waste and pollution, ensuring that they cause no harm to our planet.

Black Friday encourages the opposite of all of this – rampant over consumption of terrible quality tat, poverty jobs, and an ever-growing waste mountain along with terrifying levels of pollution. It is a symptom of everything that is wrong with the way most businesses operate today.

Until around 50 years ago we lived in a world where the things we bought were well made, where the making of these things employed millions of people (a third of working Brits were employed this way), and this work sustained communities across the country, towns and cities like Blackburn, which we call home.

At Community Clothing we believe in a different way of doing things. Our mission is simple: make great quality affordable clothes which last as long as we can possibly make them, and by doing so we support skilled, well-paid work right here in the UK. We never have a sale, not on Black Friday, or Blue Monday, not ever, instead we charge the very best price we can for the things we sell 365 days a year encouraging you to buy what you need, when you need it.

So this Black Friday we encourage you to think carefully about what you want your hard earned money to do – line the pockets of a billionaire trotters up on his yacht in some tropical tax haven, or find its way into the pockets of hardworking skilled folk right here in your own back yard. Think Blackburn*, not Black Friday.

•⁠ ⁠or Bolton, Burnley, Hawick, Leeds, Leicester, London, Manchester or any of the other 31 towns and cities across the UK where we manufacture our clothes.”
