Thanks for your post Robert. Great to hear you're making progress with the CBT.

I look forward to reading the longer post!

In the meantime, would you be up for telling us how you went about getting CBT?

Did the you seek out a CBT therapist?

Did they know about shy bowel, or did you have to educate them about it first?

Any tips on getting a good CBT therapist?

How did you work on the behavioural part of the problem?

Do you have any co-existing digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or crohns disease (as these can often form a vicious circle with the shy bowel and make it a much tougher nut to crack)?

many thanks,

Baz
