What Causes Blushing?

This week I’m answering a question that came through via facebook “What causes blushing to happen?” 

To answer this question I’ve clipped a section from a Blush2Bloom Taster Session earlier this year. In this 5 min video, you’ll learn about 2 key concepts:

  1. The Blushing Cycle: it starts with a Trigger Event (most of the time, we don’t remember what that Trigger Event was) but our body registered that event as traumatic, and
  2. The Blushing Triangle: we can get stuck inside this triangle, which is self-increasing, explaining why our blushing can sometimes get worse, rather than better with time. We can get stuck inside the Blushing Triangle for years or even decades. Blush2Bloom helps you break free of it.

 

This answers the question from a mindset perspective. In another post, we’ll look at the body’s physiological response.
