So. I sometimes realize that I am feeling shame or embarrassment because my face flushes.
But then I started having hot flashes and it took me a while to realize that when my face would flush, my brain would start casting around for something I might have just said or done that was embarrassing. I had to explicitly tell myself, THIS IS A HOT FLASH, I AM NOT EMBARRASSED, I AM HAVING A HOT FLASH.
(I also ordered myself some black cohosh gummies and that fixed it, at least for now.)
