Blushing
For most people blushing is normal. It is a perfectly normal reaction to something or a situation that embarrasses you.
However, some people blush excessively; it's not just a quick blush from an embarrassing situation, they seem to blush during almost any social interaction. You might find yourself avoiding places, people or going out in general because you are worried about getting embarrassed. People who blush excessively usually become very self-conscious. They become fixated in trying to control their blushing, making their blushing problem even worse. It's at this stage that blushing becomes a problem and even a fear or phobia.
Blushing is an unconscious, physical reaction that our bodies have to certain situations. It is triggered by something external and is no different from any other learned response, such as screaming when we see a mouse. In some ways, blushing is like a 'fight or flight' response where our bodies react to perceived threats.
Sometimes, blushing (especially childhood anxiety) can be traced back to an initial event, such as when you were asked to read in front of the class by a school teacher and perhaps you didn't do it very well and blushed. This event may have been "imprinted" in your mind because your fellow pupils laughed or ridiculed you. In this case, the blushing would have been a normal response, but as it persists over time and generalizes into "normal" social situations, it becomes a nuisance.
Hypnotherapy can stop inappropriate blushing in a number of different ways. First, it will help you feel more comfortable in situations where in the past you were prone to becoming flushed. It will increase your self-confidence and assertiveness so that you are less likely to feel vulnerable and respond by blushing. Hypnotherapy works with your unconscious mind to program in new, positive unconscious reaction to any external triggers to make blushing a thing of the past.
