Conquer Blushing with Fast Track Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

When I started in practice over 25 years ago, like most people I assumed that the most common phobia I would be treating would be either mice or spiders.
This, in actual fact, is not the case.

The most common phobia that I treat is Blushing

I would see a quite a lot of people per day with this devastating phobia and only a few people a month with the phobia of mice or spiders!

The fear of blushing, eureuthophobia, normally goes hand in hand with the phobia of being stared at, scopophobia. This in turn encompasses the feeling of social disgrace where a  person is scared of making a fool of themselves and going red in front of people. The blusher is usually tense and nervous in situations with other people. Once they feel themselves starting to blush they start to panic, which then increases the blushing even more!

Blushers go to extreme lengths to cover up this devastating phobia.

Men who blush can grow a beard to disguise it. Women can't do this and so they resort to other methods. They may overdo on the make up,  sit under sun lamps to have a permanent tan simply to disguise the fact they feel people can see them blushing (in actual fact it is extremely rare they can).
Other methods which blushes sometimes use are to wear their hair covering their face (like the old pageboy look). If they feel they are blushing around their neck they will wear polo neck jumpers to disguise the feeling. Some will keep their hand up to their chin, or even twiddle with a necklace while talking to people.
If they are going out for an evening they will sit under dim lights, in a place usually near the door, just in case they have to make a very hasty exit if they think they are going to blush.  One unusual phenomena that some blushers may develop is nasal problems, allowing them to conveniently keep a handkerchief around their nose!
