Facial blushing for no reason

I turn red like a tomato when there’s absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about? But basically when I’m talking to people or if I happen to be the center of attention in a group, I sometimes just start blushing and the moment I get self conscious it becomes worse and even more obvious.

And it’s not even with people that I’m not familiar with. For example I blushed so hard when talking with a group of friends, most of whom I’m super close to, and earlier today when I entered my therapist’s office and we started the session normally with some small talk and I started to blush for absolutely no reason. It was so embarrassing because I could tell that I got so red that my therapist definitely noticed. I can’t think of any reason why I blushed because I’ve been working with this therapist for a year now and we have a good normal relationship and I didn’t feel anything different in that moment.

I also randomly blush at work occasionally. Luckily I’m actually ok with doing presentations maybe because I’m in full work mode and the adrenaline rush helps me focus. The weirdest thing is that blushing happens so randomly, like when I run into my boss in the office building and we just chit chat normally, or when a colleague talks to me at my desk. The topics are random, nothing challenging or embarrassing. Anyone has the same issues? How do you get over it and not make it worse the moment you realize you’re about to turn red?
