Read
some of the many letters that I have received from clients about
overcoming their blushing.
Whenever I first started in practice over 24 years ago, like most people, I
assumed that the most common phobia that I would treat would be either mice
or spiders. The most common phobia that I treat is Blushing . I would see a lot of people per day with this devastating phobia and only a few people a year with the phobia of mice or spiders !
Fear
of blushing, eureuthophobia,
usually goes hand in hand with the phobia of being stared at, scopophobia, which
in turns encompasses the feeling of social disgrace. The person is
scared of making a fool of themselves in front of other people. Blushers
are usually tense and
nervous in situations with other people. Once they feel
themselves starting to blush they start to panic, which increases the blushing
even more! Blushers
can and do go to extreme lengths to try to cover up this devastating phobia.
