Blushing

Treatment For

Blushing is no different from any other learned response

Blushing or erythrophobia (the fear of blushing) is often caused by the following situations, which make you dread and avoid them as much as possible.

Talking to someone you think is superior to you, socially or professionally
Speaking in front of a group
Performing a task while being watched
Talking to members of the opposite sex
Being criticised in front of others.

From a hypnotherapist’s point of view, blushing and erythrophobia are symptoms of limiting beliefs and irrational fears that are rooted in your subconscious – far beyond reach and reason from your normal logical conscious mind.

Most people have these to some degree, whether it’s a belief or fear about blushing or certain types of people, places, situations, relationships, transport, animals, food… The list is as long as there are people in the world since everyone’s experience is unique to them.

And though you may know your behaviour is ridiculous, the fear you feel is genuine. More importantly, IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT that you haven’t been able to do anything about it yet.

How does hypnotherapy help blushing?

In hypnotherapy for blushing and erythrophobia, I help you quieten your conscious mind and turn your attention inwards so your subconscious beliefs and fears can be explored and understood.

Contrary to the myths about hypnosis, you will remain in full control of your mind throughout. You are the expert on you so the process is a joint partnership between you and your hypnotherapist.

It’s relaxing, revealing and fascinating as your subconscious explains itself to you using the senses. It can be like watching a dream that you’re in control of. In doing this, you’re able to wander around memories and experiences, re-examining their meanings and gaining new perspectives.
