Hello,
I was hoping that some people out there could help me. I'm currently
on a course of CBT to help me with a fear of blushing I have had since
I was young. I'm on my third session and the therapist has suggested I
do a survey on blushing. I'm going to ask some close family and
friends to fill in the survey but I also wanted some people that I
don't know to fill it in - I'm not brave enough to walk up to people
on the street so thought I'd try this group. I'll post the results up
afterwards for all to see. Survey is below.

Thanks for your help
