Blushing - Hypnosis to the Rescue!

When you blush is your immediate reaction to say to yourself – “don’t blush” – with the immediate effect of even more blushing!

Help is at hand. Hypnosis works by teaching you how to re-direct the blood from you face to a less obvious part of your body (leg, hand). What? I hear you scream – is that it? Well, in essence, yes. Your mind is very powerful and by concentrating you can stop a wound bleeding, undergo surgery without anaesthetic and even cut off the blood supply to warts (so they fall off) and for blushing all you need to do is re-direct the blood flow to another part of your body while remaining calm and sending cool thoughts to your face.

Why does blushing occur?Blushing is a redness that can start in the chest and move up to the neck and face. It is part of the flight or flight (and now freeze) phenomenon that is called stress. When we feel stressed this triggers the fight or flight response so the sympathetic nervous system responds by widening the blood vessels – to pump more blood around the body and for some people this goes to the face causing blushing.

We all blush from time to time but for some, the blushing is chronic (erythrophobia).

What’s behind it?Fear of being judged, fear of being the centre of attention (again being judged) or doing something wrong and being caught out.

Social phobia with blushing can hold people back at work because they cannot (though qualified) deal with the emotional turmoil of being interviewed.

Imagine hiding for years and years, your true potential never being fulfilled and then discovering this power that was within you all the time, the power to re-direct the blood flow. Imagine how that would feel, go on, imagine what it would be like to be cool in your face while giving a presentation, in a group, entering a room by yourself. How great would that feel? Where would you feel that? Don’t you deserve that!
