Blushing & Public Speaking

Blushing

Most people experience blushing at different times. Blushing occurs when the tiny capilliaries widen in our skin, increasing blood flow causing an increased redness in the skin's surface. This might normally happen when we have been exerting ourselves exercising or we are stimulated in some other way, like in hot or cold weather.

However, the kind of blushing that normally concerns people is social blushing. This can occur in the following situations:

• When taken by surprise
• When someone feels they have been 'caught out'
• When embarrassed
• When made the focus of attention
  And more...

For some people, a fear of the blushing itself can also arise, and this can have an affect on confidence in social and even work situations.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Hypnosis can help to stop blushing in a number of different ways. It can build your confidence, help you engage different emotions and therefore different reactions in those situations, and re-program you so that your automatic response in these situations is one of comfort. As a result you will feel more at ease and more relaxed and have a greater sense of control over your reactions.

Bernadette helps people overcome fears of blushing all the time and understands the affect that this can have on your overall confidence.

Confident Public Speaking with Hypnotherapy

Just the thought of having to make speeches in public or giving professional presentations can give you butterflies in your stomach and make your legs feel like jelly. Then when the time comes, these feelings can result in your mind becoming cluttered and confused and your voice racing and not conveying the confident assured tone you need to make a good impression.

Whether it is business presentations, speeches, speaking at a wedding, or giving academic presentations, Hypnotherapy can help by building up your confidence and make you feel calm and relaxed. Bernadette also goes into your unconscious mind to find the cause of the unconfident or nervous reactions to public speaking and neutralises it, so that you are no longer affected by it.

What clients say:

Hi Bernadette

I just thought I'd let you know how it went. I spoke really well. I really didn't feel or sound nervous at all, so you did very well.

Thanks again, you definitely made all the difference.

Hi Bernadette

Just to let you know the wedding speech went extremely well. I have never felt so calm speaking in front of a group of people before.

I actually got a few laughs (laughing with me I hope) and afterwards a number of people commented on how nice my speech was.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help over the past few months. You have helped me overcome a number of issues that have been haunting me for a long time.

Regards,
Simon
