How I Overcame Facial Blushing
| The approach that worked for me was the Hypnotherapy/NLP approach described on Tips To Cure Blushing
What it involved was me looking up a practitioner in my neighbourhood and following a program that they set out for me, after ongoing therapy and hypnotherapy sessions. I will try to explain it as well as I can, but I am not an expert and I am doing it from memory.

1. Identify the external triggers for un-resourceful state. These could be visual, auditory, tactile or smell or taste stimuli.
2. Build a powerful resource state using the circle of excellence technique. To create a circle of excellence, draw an imaginary circle on the floor or mark a circle in chalk large enough to step into.
3. Remember experiences where you felt powerful, creative, composed, or any resourceful state where you felt balanced and centred.
4. Step into the circle only as quickly or slowly as you remember and re-access the resourceful state through your inner senses. ie. See what you saw through your own eyes within the actual experience, hear the sounds and language used, and get in touch with your posture, breathing and emotions when inside the desirable resource memory. Note that an observer would see changes in your physiology such as better posture, deeper breathing, and skin colour changes. If there is no noticeable change in your physiology the resource state is either poorly accessed or low intensity. If it is low intensity, choose another resource state that is more powerful.
5. Repeat step 4. with an additional resource state, continuing to add resource states one at a time. When you have enough resources, you step automatically into a very powerful state on entering the circle which is truly now a circle of excellence.
6. Recall a trigger for the un-resourceful state as you step into the circle of excellence. Repeat process with each old trigger. Or ask your partner to role play the various triggers (gestures, words, voice tones, situations etc) as you step into the circle of excellence.
You can try this approach at home, but I recommend visiting a practitioner, at least for one session.
