Short daily videos for people with a fear of blushing, who go red and wish they didn't.
The book, the guide and the plan of thirty days. 49,00 euro, once, VAT included.
Or start with the free email. One short one a week, and you can leave whenever you want.
Frames from the films, in the order they happen. Nothing is said in any of them.
Before anyone has looked.
The room is fine.
Then it is not.
And now it shows.
Ten seconds, and nothing is said in it.
You feel it climb before the question reaches you. Somebody turns their head and your face has already started.
You have said no to things. The presentation you swapped, the round of introductions you arrived late for, the till you walked past because there was a queue.
Somebody says are you okay, you're a bit red, and now it is worse, and now they are watching you get worse.
You go red when nothing is happening. No shame, no secret, no reason. It just arrives, which makes it harder to explain to anyone.
What can change is the part that runs your day: the watching, the bracing, the saying no. That part is learnable, and it has been studied properly.
One short email a week. Leave whenever you want.
Three findings, and where each one comes from. Nothing on this site is asserted without a paper behind it that you can go and read.
People who fear blushing overestimate both how likely a blush is and what it will cost them. When the same situations were put to observers, the observers agreed with the low fear group, not the high fear group.

In a randomised trial of sixty five people, training attention outward was compared with applied relaxation. At one year the attention group was ahead on the fear of showing what your body is doing, and ahead at every measurement on self focused attention.

In the longest follow up of the surgery, at an average of 14.6 years and across seventeen hundred people, blushing was the indication with the poorest outcome: 72.8 per cent of those operated on for it still reported benefit, against 95.6 per cent for sweaty hands. Across the whole group, all indications together, 80 per cent had compensatory sweating somewhere else on the body, and regret had risen from 7.8 per cent at the earlier survey to 13.5 per cent.

Nothing here plays until you press it, and nothing has sound until you allow it.
Five to start with.
A new short every day since the first of September 2026, and one long film that walks through a whole day of it.
A new short every day, and the same ideas one frame at a time on Instagram.
If a video helped, a like and a subscribe is what tells YouTube to show it to the next person who blushes.
You give an address, you get the first email within a minute, and one a week after that.
One short email a week, for as long as you want it. Two or three minutes each, in the same voice as the videos.
The first one is what happens in the first ten seconds. The next is why the room notices less than you think, with the study attached. After that they keep going, one idea at a time, for as long as there are ideas worth a week.
One click to confirm your address, and nothing else to set up. Every email has a leave link. It asks one question, then the emails stop at once. If you want the record gone as well, that is one email.
Erythrophobia, the fear of blushing, explained is the long version of everything above, in one page.

The First Ten Seconds is a guide in five parts with a plan of thirty days, with every source listed at the back. Fifteen of Us is a novel: fifteen people who blush, one evening at a time, with the same method woven through the story. Together with the plan they are one payment, and they arrive by email at once. If that is not you yet, the emails are the better door.

No name and no face on this site, on purpose. A site about being looked at should not open with somebody asking to be looked at.
What is worth knowing is why it exists.
No. This is education and practice you do yourself. Therapy is a person who knows you, and for a lot of people that is the right answer. If the fear is taking pieces out of your life, see a doctor or a psychologist. That is a normal thing to do and it is not a bigger step than it sounds.
Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy cuts the nerves that drive the flush. It is real surgery and it cannot be undone. In the longest follow up, at an average of 14.6 years afterwards and across seventeen hundred people, 72.8 per cent of those operated on for facial blushing still reported benefit. That is the poorest outcome of every reason to have this operation; for sweaty hands it was 95.6 per cent. Across that whole group, all reasons together, 80 per cent had compensatory sweating somewhere else on the body, and regret had risen from 7.8 per cent at the earlier survey to 13.5 per cent. Both of those numbers are in the paper linked under this answer. Read them next to whatever a clinic tells you.
Ask a doctor, not a website. What the evidence looks like: the 2016 systematic review of propranolol for anxiety disorders found eight trials, and exactly one of them was social anxiety, with sixteen people in it. That is not a base to argue from in either direction. It means the honest answer is that nobody knows much, and your doctor knows your situation.
No, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. The approach behind this site, task concentration training, has been tested in randomised trials and it beat the comparison at one year on the thing that matters, the fear of showing what your body is doing. Trials report averages. You are not an average.
Then you have lost a few short emails you can stop at any moment. If you bought the guide or the book, you still have them, and the plan in the guide is built to be picked up again on a better week. And you are still allowed to go and find someone to talk to. Those two things are not in competition.
One a week, that is all. It keeps coming, one a week, until you leave. The leave link is in every single one and it works immediately.
If you have read this far, the next step is one short email a week and nothing else.
That is a real answer and it does not need explaining. This page will not follow you around and there is nothing here that expires.
If you want something to read that asks nothing of you, there are eight long articles here. Every claim in them is linked to the study it came from, so you can check it yourself and never tell anyone you were reading.
