conditions - Blushing

Blushing is a normal bodily reaction, due to widening of the small blood vessels of the skin that allows increased blood to flow beneath the surface of the skin. This causes us to go red, and experience a feeling of being 'flushed'. Blushing or flushing happens for different reasons, such as going out in cold weather, doing vigorous exercise and appropriate social embarrassment.

But if you are prone to blushing when it is not appropriate, then it becomes a problem, often distressing enough to interfere with daily life.

Hypnotherapy can help to stop blushing in a number of different ways. It can work with your unconscious mind to program in new, positive unconscious reactions to those inappropriate triggers to make blushing a thing of the past. Hypnotherapy can also help to control blushing by helping you to feel less uncomfortable in situations where you are prone to becoming flushed. A good hypnotherapist can work with you to build your confidence and assertiveness so that you are less likely to feel vulnerable and respond by blushing.
