Taking the Hard Path: Russell Norris Discusses 'Red Face'

If you ever felt like blushing was an alien part of yourself, which takes over and you don't have any control over it... If you've ever struggled with negative behaviours or avoidance patterns because of your blushing and you just don't know where to turn...Then you'll love this interview with Russell Norris - Author of the book 'Red Face: How I Learnt to Live with Social Anxiety' 

Russell wrote Red Face, because when he was looking for help for his blushing and anxiety, he couldn't find anything. His book fills that gap. I created this website and the free resources you can find here for the same reason. If you're struggling with blushing and you don't know where to start, please read Russell's book - and also download the FREE Blushing Treatment Guide I created for you (click the download button on the right of this screen)

In this open and honest interview, Russell shares how:  

• His life has changed since 'coming out' publicly about his chronic blushing and social anxiety and what it's like to become a "Poster Boy" while living with blushing - even being interviewed on National TV
• Difficult it is to speak about blushing and the steps he took from hiding to ultimately writing this brave book
• The extra layer of complexity associated with being male and blushing is tied to male psychology about being hard wired not to show weakness or vulnerability
• His book impacted his mum and dad, and ultimately brought them closer 

This interview is packed with wisdom, kindness and advice from an "older Russell" to his "younger sefl" and anyone watching - young or older - will get so much value from it.

Thank you Russell for writing this book and for this interview!
