What is the psychological secret of blushing?

  Patient’s question: Previously, I saw a doctor who treated a blushing patient’s disease online, and he said frankly during the treatment that blushing is not a problem, and changing it is against the law, so should the depression brought by blushing be eliminated? What I want to ask is, like me and some friends I know who work in the Communist Youth League, many of them are easily blushed and nervous and shy when they encounter problems and difficulties in social life, but after many activities, they have become thick-skinned and slowly see the things they used to blush as natural, no longer blush, and are more bold and confident than before. Is such a change of situation considered to be against the law as you said? In addition, if it is really against the law as you say, then is not all the mental quality of the exercise, experience is not reasonable?  Guangzhou Brain Hospital psychiatric department Xu Guiyun replied: 1, in social occasions blushing, is nervous anxiety caused by social phobia, called “barefaced fear”.  2, tension and anxiety lead to blushing, blushing more tension and anxiety, forming a vicious circle.  3, change blushing does not violate the law, there is no need to be afraid of blushing, blushers are afraid of blushing because they feel that blushing seems to reveal the blushers inner secrets, inner timidity and anxiety that they do not want people to know.  4. In fact, through the frequent social activities that you have to participate in, you become “thicker skinned, you slowly see things that you used to feel blushing as natural, you don’t blush anymore, you are bolder and more confident than before”. In fact, these social activities are implicitly in line with psychotherapy methods, equivalent to systematic desensitization treatment, and over time the patient’s blushing has improved.  5, but for some serious, stubborn barefaced phobic patients, the need for formal, systematic treatment, the most effective treatment is currently drug therapy, coupled with psychotherapy is mainly cognitive behavioral therapy.
