Thought this might be of interest:

A team of researchers from Loyola University Health System have shown that
cognitive therapy (which included deep breathing and guided imagery) can help
women control the bladder without medication or surgery.

Now granted, the pilot study was small,(only 10 women) which statistically is
not a very good study. These women experienced a sudden and uncontrollable urge
to urinate (Urge Incontinence). After an initial office visit, the participants
of the study were told to listen to an audio recording with a series of
relaxation and visualization exercises at home, twice a day for two weeks. The
patients had to keep a urinary diary for one week, recording how often they had
any urine leakage with urge.

The researchers found the majority of the patients improved; the average number
of urge incontinence episodes per week decreased from 38 to 12, according to the
study results, which were published in the Journal of Urology.
