Blushing

Blushing Hypnotherapy in Newcastle & the North East

Blushing is a natural physical response, but when you become particularly self-conscious about it, the fear of blushing can become a problem in itself. You may worry that other people will notice your face becoming red, feel embarrassed about how you appear or begin avoiding situations where you think blushing might occur.

At Peaceful Minds in Newcastle, Sian Barnard provides professional therapy for blushing, combining clinical hypnotherapy, CBT and psychotherapy techniques to help reduce the anxiety and self-consciousness surrounding the problem.

Understanding the Blushing Cycle

Blushing can be triggered by emotions such as embarrassment, anxiety, shame or simply becoming the focus of attention. For many people, however, it is the fear of blushing that makes the experience increasingly difficult.

You might enter a social or professional situation wondering whether you are going to blush. The moment you notice warmth in your face, you may become even more self-conscious and start imagining that everybody else has noticed too.

This increased anxiety can intensify the physical response, creating a cycle in which worrying about blushing makes you more aware of it and more anxious when it happens.

Feeling Calmer and Less Self-Conscious

Sian combines clinical hypnotherapy with CBT and psychotherapy techniques to help address the thoughts, beliefs and emotional responses associated with blushing.

Therapy can help you challenge assumptions about how other people perceive you, reduce excessive monitoring of physical sensations and become more comfortable in situations where you might previously have worried about blushing.

Rather than continually trying to control or prevent the physical response, the aim is to reduce the fear and importance attached to it. As you become calmer and less self-conscious, blushing may begin to feel much less significant and restrictive.

Sian is a Harley Street trained clinical hypnotherapist and experienced CBT therapist providing therapy for blushing and associated anxiety in Newcastle upon Tyne.
