Blushing

Hi Tracy-Ann

I've had a good look at the product and think it might be useful for you. Obviously it won't suit everybody (but it says that on the website) but it is worth a try.

If it doesn't help then I'd suggest EFT is also worth a try - see .

Wishing you all the best

Hi Caroline

Thanks. I think I'll give it a go. I feel so nervy in general at the moment so may need to look at my diet. I will have a look into EFT but I had a couple of sessions before and didn't feel convinced for some reason.

I've just ordered a bottle of 30 to give it a go. Worth a try and it does feel like the problem comes from panic on the inside, which happens so quickly as it is a phobia and almost impossible to control. I will report on the results if I get a change. 🙂

If EFT didn't help thenyou will not have found the core issue. It is said again and again that finding the core issue is the key to sorting things out. I remember a case where the issue was in fact an accident the mother of the client had when carrying the client as a baby! The quest by the practitioner to help the client find the core issue is vital.

I would definitely look at diet issues - and make sure you get enough Omega oils (3 and 6), fresh fruit and veg of all colours and reduce your intake of sugars and refined carbs as much as possible.

I used to blush badly as a young woman, and was recommended to invest in some 'camouflage' base coat to wear under a light coating of foundation. It really helped, but was a little disconcerting when I undid the cap on the tube - the camouflage was green!

I still blush today, but am too long in the tooth to let it worry me. I had hypnosis for something completely unrelated when I was in my thirties, and think that may have helped too.

You can have some free Cognitive Behavioural Therapy on the NHS - anxiety about blushing is seen as part of social phobia/social anxiety and is treated in a similar way. Like Caroline I would also recommend EFT - if you didn't find it helpful in the past, it is likely that either you didn't click with your therapist, or as Caroline mentioned you may not have found the core issue contributing to it (or both).

Hi

I have a long history of facial blushing. I feel people underestimate me and it may even be leading to my depression, as it makes me so inhibited in social situations and it definitely prevents me moving on at work. It is so embarrassing and I feel I am letting myself down. After experiencing it in a meeting at work, where I thought someone noticed it and whispered to someone else, I have now done a bit of googling and found this:

Seems quite natural and I am tempted to give it a go. I am so frustrated with my life because I constantly don't show my strengths and feel like I am "one-down". It is my first day back at work after a break and I feel like I'm going crazy, I have no confidence and find meetings overwhelming. I hope someone can advise. My mother experienced this all her life and I feel like I am turning into her. she used to get to the checkout in the supermarket and go bright red as soon as she had to pay or say anything. She never had any confidence and I remember watching her and wondering why. it is so distressing as I feel I haven't had much chance to show my potential or even experience it. Think I have social phobia.

I went through blushing at the age of 12 or so briefly but it could have easily persisted had it not been for my family's love of homeopathy (and bio chemics). My sis got her book out and found the remedy for it Ferrum Phos 6x.

It went away like a puff of wind. My confidence was sabotaged by blushing, I shirked social interaction. As I had begun to think that I can't face people situations without going red! Embarassing it was! I hated myself for it. Luckily I didn't have to dig underline causes etc.
Body's natural response, Comes and goes. it is natural response of body. Things go pear shaped when we start making them wrong....then we dwell on how wrong they are then they bloom. Vicious circle. Then you need help, what are they gonna do? Stop making it wrong. Accept yourself just the way you are...just the way you are now. Take a moment to breathe into it....and breathe again into it....and stay in there....breathe again...stay...relax....more....and more
One can spend a lifetime digging stuff. There will always be more to dug. Life is here and now it is happening now. If you decide that it goes now, it will go.

You can try the same. Ferrum Phos 6x. 4-5 times a day avoid taking it too close to bed time. Bio chemic remedies don't have side effects and they usually cure the underline cause emotional or physical as well.
Keep it simple
love

Thanks everyone. I will give it all a go! Didn't think of homeopathy but it has helped with something else in the past.

I ordered some of the supplement I mentioned but it hasn't arrived yet.

I am starting to look more at my diet as I am getting fat around my middle and I hate it! Really need to take more care of myself. 🙂

I didn't click with the counsellor actually. I went to her about something really terrifying and painful. she was charging £50 an hour and she kept putting her foot in it and saying really clumsy things, eg she said to me as I was talking about years of very bad pmt and getting older, she said "and you've got the menopause to look forward to, smile ha ha ha". I thought that really stupid and unprofessional, especially as I don't have children. So obviously the EFT wouldn't work with someone like that. She was the same age as me but looked about ten years older than me. :D. Smile ha ha ha.

Hi Tracey Ann

I work as a professional stress consultant and this is one of the most common problems I deal with. I use relaxation techniques to help with this phobia (it's known as Erythrophobia).

You can download a recording I made to help from [url]Changes Audio[/url], just click "download MP3" it's absolutely free.

Let me know how you get on.

hi!
i have been facing the same problem from childhood, hope a little help from you guys will help!

People who are prone to blushing tend to be shy and socially anxious. Through teenage hood, the condition gets worse with the peer group having a dig. The blushing then become the focus of the anxiety. Your own reaction makes it worse. You tend to be focused on whether people can see it.

It's worth giving it a try. Building your confidence is also essential. By you being accepting of it, your own reaction will reduce some of the symptoms. Have you considered learning to control your anxiety using breathing techniques. It can help reduce the severity and duration of the blushing.

Does your blushing have a trigger? One thing I have find with some blushing patients is that the blushing anxiety or another "hidden" belief is compromising their minds. For example, guilt might be a trigger that exacerbates the blushing everytime their is an accusation of blame

If you think it can help you, you should definitely give it a try and we would really appreciate it if you can give us feedback. However, it can help you more if you start channeling yourself first. Learn how to boost your self-confidence. Be more trustful of yourself and realize your strengths and take your weaknesses as your challenge. Best of luck!
