Nervous Peeing: The Brain–Bladder Connection

Ever get nervous and suddenly feel like you need to pee? And then you start thinking about it…which makes you wonder if you need to go even more. 🙃Before the CIBC Run for the Cure, I had already used the bathroom. About 30 minutes later, I felt like I needed to go again. I’d been hydrating, but I also recognised that familiar nervous pee feeling.In this episode of Potty Talk, I’ll be talking about the brain–bladder connection, how nerves can make that urge feel stronger, and what I told myself before the race. Plus, I’ll share three simple tips to help you pause, calm your nerves, and reassess the feeling.If you’ve ever thought, “Do I actually need to pee, or am I just nervous?” you’ll relate to this one. 💗Join me every Tuesday for a new Potty Talk Episode.Follow on Instagram for all thing Pelvic Floor and Core.
