Nick Kemp - Blushing and feeling red
You need Flash player 8+ and JavaScript enabled to view this video.
When I first encountered and helped a client with blushing problems, which included going red in the face it was a number of years ago and at that time I considered this to be a rare condition. These days I see a wide range of men, women and indeed youngsters of all ages and backgrounds with this problem on a weekly basis. Typically they describe feeling that they get hot, they may exhibit facial reddening and physical blushing.
"Blushers" often describe this problem as feeling extremely self conscious with changes in body temperature, and "going red in the face or all over". Often this sense of "going red" is a feeling of this occurring, rather than actually seeing a change in skin pigmentation. PCW with it's combination of hypnosis, Linguistics, trance work and time lining is excellent in changing the old response, as, like all irrational fears this is created at an emotional level and once the "emotional charge" that creates this behaviour is changed, the individual finds welcome relief!
The difficulty with this condition is that the more the person thinks about it, the more it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy with the "blusher" creating the exact same thoughts and feelings that maintain the problem. Often the "blusher" has a number of ongoing thoughts about this problem that are not useful.
A common example of this includes, perhaps not surprisingly:
"I am going to go red" (said or thought in an anxious tone of voice!)
I usually allocate two sessions to deal with this condition and have had considerable success in working with clients, many of whom have tried numerous other approaches without previous success.
Testimonials from Helping Reduce Blushing
From age 16 to 45 I have worried about blushing. Yeh I have a normal family and live a happy life but
spent many days planning what I would be doing in order to avoid blushing. From the moment I woke until
safe in my bed at night my mind was focusing on "what if I blush?". I have seen various hypnotherapists over the years
clinging on to the hope that they would solve it. I even enrolled on an NLP course! However,
the only person who has ever made me really think about the whole process of blushing is Nick Kemp.
'Think about the process' he said and that is all it took. Such an inspirational practitioner yet with a
very genuine, caring and professional manner who never made me feel inadequate. I am now a very relaxed
public speaker which was a big panic for me in the past and am becoming more relaxed every day thanks to
Nick. Despite his extremely busy schedule he even took the time to answer emails as I travelled quite a
distance with my husband to meet him. Hopefully I will manage to enroll on one of his training courses
in the future and would certainly recommend others to do so.
Thanks for the freedom!
