Blushing: Blushing is a wonderful example of the mind-body connection. In many of us, emotional feelings of embarrassment or shame lead to an internal experience of anxiety and physical heat/flushing -- which shows up on our skin as "blushing." particular situations may bring out these responses, such as social anxiety and others. Depression can complicate all this. Consult a therapist to explore more.
