Coping with Blushing

by Robert Edelmann, Robert J. Edelmann

Overview

'I just couldn't stop blushing... It was awful!'

It's the thing you dread most. You're at a party, giving a presentation, joining a new evening class or even meeting your online date in real life for the first time. You feel the warmth creeping up over their face - you know they've noticed, and now they'll think you're socially inept, or awkward, or nervous. The more embarrassed you feel, the more you blush.

But it doesn't need to be this way. Blushing is not something to be feared, and there are ways to break the cycle and regain control of your anxiety. Professor Edelmann offers proven, practical and easy to manage strategies to unlearn feelings of failure, and to not only survive but thrive in any social or professional situation.
