Hypnotherapy for Blushing

Do you have a problem with blushing? It’s a very common problem but often it’s not really a ‘blushing problem’. Usually it’s a fear of someone noticing the blushing, rather than just the blushing itself. Do you have a problem with blushing when you are in a room on your own? In many cases the real problem can be a fear of negative judgement about the blushing itself.

Unfortunately, the fear of blushing makes a person more likely to blush, which creates embarrassment, which leads to the increased likelihood of blushing again sometime in the future, like the next board room meeting perhaps or even just the next time you’re the centre of attention for some reason. It’s a negative cycle and it’s a problem but this cycle also provides a clue to the solution.

What if somebody flicked a switch inside your brain and you no longer even cared about blushing or if you didn’t care in the slightest if somebody notice you blushing. What do you think would happen to the frequency of blushing? Even when you did blush it wouldn’t be a problem because you no even longer care whether anybody notices your blushing. Having an issue about blushing is usually just a symptom of a bigger problem and that problem is the fear of judgement, criticism, and potential rejection. Some people are not in the least bit bothered by criticism while others can barely make it out of the door in the morning. Using the deep relaxation and suggestive techniques of hypnotherapy can be a helpful way to address these fears of judgement and criticism and give you the confidence you need to take control of symptoms such as blushing.

Hypnosis induced altered states of relaxation can produce and improve the clarity of positive mental imagery. The hypnotherapist/hypnotist can guide you to ‘see’ and ‘feel’ yourself being more relaxed in situations which you may usually experience anxiety, stress or fear of blushing.

While it is usually not as simple as flicking a switch inside the brain, after a few sessions of the right type of hypnosis a person can often find they are less fearful of blushing and the frequency of blushing is reduced. It’s common to also notice that other areas of life also improve like becoming more assertive and less fearful of center of attention experiences like public speaking.
