Blushing & Erubescence Problems

Professional hypnosis treatments for blushing and erubescence problems at the Wombourne Clinic in Wolverhampton

What is the Blushing Reaction?

Blushing is also known as Erythrophobia when it develops into a phobia.

It is the involuntary reddening of your face, usually (but not always) triggered by an emotional experience such as embarrassment or stress.

More often than not, other areas of the body – such as the neck, ears and upper chest – can also be affected.

As well as causing redness, it can also make the affected area actually feel hot – often described as feeling “flush.”

Although this is a normal reaction to certain situations, you may feel very self-conscious when you Blush and would like to be able to stop those “inappropriate” blushes.

What Causes Blushing?

You blush when a strong emotional trigger stimulates the nervous system to widen the blood vessels in the face, technically known as “vaso-dilation.”

This increases the flow of blood into the blood vessels just underneath the skin, causing your face to turn red.

It can be triggered by both Psychological as well as Physical causes, such as:

• Social Anxiety Disorder (social phobia) – the fear of social situations and being around people (psychological)
• Rosacea – a skin condition that mainly affects the face (physiological)
• Female Menopause (physiological)
• Some medications – for example Tamoxifen used in breast cancer treatment (physiological)

It can also be triggered by alcohol consumption, hot drinks, eating hot or spicy food and strenuous exercise.

Do I Need Therapy for Blushing?

Most people will blush from time to time, and it’s not usually a cause for concern.

However, if you blush frequently it can have a significant negative impact and can lead to you avoiding social situations and interacting with other people.

If it has become a problem then consider making an appointment to come along for one of our Confidential initial Assessments where we can discuss the types of therapy available.
