This is profound. I stay cold. I have a hard time feeling anger but I’ve never considered disgust. I am disgusted with the emotional abuse from my ex husband
So much shame here. Severe pain. Severe dissociation. Can’t connect with others. Neglected badly as a young person. 26 and so dissociated at work and feel like a psychopath and like everyone can tell at work. I’ve processed a lot and I know I am okay but this extreme physical pain I carry and debilitating anxiety I thought was something i had to work through but this feeling actually seems to be disgust. I wouldn’t have found that alone. As soon as I started saying this is disgusting, and reacting physically, I started sobbing. My heart has been so closed even though I have infinite love and openness. It’s been so painful and lonely. I know this is a huge missing piece. I truly mean this is life changing. I’m so glad the universe brings us together like this when we need each other most. Sending so much love. Thank you thank you thank you
🙂 I’ve been dealing with overactive adrenals and the high cortisol is extremely difficult. I begged the universe this morning to show me what blocked emotions need to be released to ease this condition. Your video showed up. I passed it by, but realized that it may be just what I asked for. It was! Thank you! Now I know what I need to work on. Thank you thank you and thank you again!
If I can advise anything please please find a way to heal and get rid of the cortisol out of your body because I am living proof of what a lifetime of trauma and disassociation can do to your body. I am now suffering from quite a few ill effects and damage to so many parts of my body as a result of constant cortisol in your body and only just finding out what has caused them. ❤
@@manyawest6132 Thank you. You’re spot on. 👍 Complex trauma. At age 63, I’m dealing with health issues. Body’s way of saying that after decades of trauma work, I’m not done yet. I hope that your journey gets healthier and easier. ❤
Yes disgust is definitely an important topic for somatic therapy but chronically overlooked so great that you're covering it. One of my teachers described disgust as 'a gateway emotion to deeper feelings of toxic shame or anger that we've judged as bad'. A somatic technique to healing shame is you have to be willing to 'smell the bad meat' (i.e. the stored negative emotion) which disgust signals to us. Great video 👍
Thanks. So is disgust a gut instinct, a guide to move away to safety or could it also be projection of shame as you mention? Im confused abt my own disgust. Wanting to trust this very visceral feeling of yuk sick but wondering if I am judging the person's choices/behaviors from a place of judgement and shame or is it my radar saying run, I dont want anything to so with that?
@@universaltruth2025 amazing you dealt with it.. I've dealt with negative emotions, horrific pain all my life .. I'm now just processing and I feel fantastic although the anger has ramped right up.. my emotions are on sensitive atm.. I know it's releasing 💜
I can see disgust in old photos while then being deep in a toxic relationship. I was even described as"cold" by the very person I was disgusted with!! Just thinking of that person causes my damn face to contort to 'disgust'!! This insight is life changing. Thank You🎉
I think you have a point there and a very important one. I'm in no contact with my family and besides anger I feel lost of disgust about the way they are and how they have been treating me. I can't say I'm proud of my lineage; there's much moral misery and hypocrisy in them that makes me feel disgusted.
Thank you so much for making this video. I was having an amazing day and then I ruminated about past traumas and I had bouts of shame and self hatred like "gaaah I did it again". Having passing thoughts about people who have hurt me in my life make me feel dirty. You made me realize it's cause I've never been allowed to feel disgust towards other people (because of my abusive caretakers) and I was always forced to tolerate people that made me feel uncomfortable or threatened so I feel shame and disgust towards myself for feeling like I need to distance myself from these people. My brain will go, "why can't you just be nice like you're supposed to." I really really needed this video today and its quite literally life altering. I'm able to continue on with my amazing day with optimism.
Yes I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired! I have the biggest understanding heart and always give ppl the benefit of the doubt but my family are suffering inter generational trauma and majority of them are drug addicts and alcoholics. Constantly letting the next generation of our kids down in our big family and it kills me. I’m tired of picking up the pieces. My soul is exhausted! 😔💔
Omg! this is the missing piece of my puzzle, my guides showed me the movie "Inside Out" where Anxiety, Disgust and Embarrassment are introduced. I relate immediately with 2 of them but I didn't quite put attention in "Disgust" 🤢🤮and now my guides showed me your video, everything makes sense. I'm cold all the time and I had been working on myself a lot but definitely disgust has been overlooked and I just got a synchronicity confirmation 1212 (saying you're in the right path for healing). Thanks for sharing your knowledge, blessings back to you. 💖🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I have been working on releasing emotions, and thought I had anger but I don't really feel angry about the things I have gone through, I have released the sadness, but there was still something, and yes, I think it is disgust! 10 years of a marriage with a narcissist, crossing your boundaries, invalidating your feelings will make you feel a lot of disgust. So thank you! Now I know what to work on.
Yesss!! Im crying of gratitude. Thank you dear❤ I transmit my traumas on to my children (unwilling oc) and Im living to heal myself to stop this generational stuff.. So benefitting of your stuff!❤
When a relationship ended I felt so much disgust and my gag reflex would show up unexpectedly at random times. I knew why I was feeling it, but had difficulty expressing it out of my body. My therapist at the time didn't seem to understand this emotion that well, either. Thank you for showing the different ways it expresses in the body. The coldness and rubbing arms - that makes so much sense. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wow really wow I've been curious why I'm emotionally unable to cry and feel towards myself but when it's a helpless animal video I can immediately cry. I will dig more into this thank you so much for your information.

Such a powerful post. The connection between rage, anger and disgust....where disgust can indicate a lack of safety and layered by shame....feeling the shame but underneath shame is disgust. What an incredible incredible revelation! Truely a can of worms that needs investigation for me. I have been not great but very stagnant in feelings needing to move to release or at least acknowledge. Disgust is absolutely massive for me! I had an energy body treatment....had no idea what to expect....but came out exhausted but angry and with some deep shame. But your video on disgust....is where I need to look into. Just incredible.
This was a big factor in a relationship I just exited. Had known them since childhood and I realized how many times I had overlooked my disgust for this person. I actually forced myself to stay in it because “wasn’t nice” to judge someone for things like hygiene, social decorum, morality, etc. because we were “just friends.” Now I realize it’s ok to have preferences! We can not like people. We can walk away. It’s actually much kinder than suppressing things, or worse, shit talking behind people’s backs!
Elite video. Thank you so much. I also am chronically cold! Metabolism-wise. I think it has to do with thyroid and metabolism in general, but your explanation here just blew my mind. God bless you.
Thank you so much for this video. Disgust has literally almost killed me 5 times. All those health issues have plagued me. WOW!! 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks soooo much!!!
That felt very helpful, and feels inspiring/inspired. It makes so much sense, that it`s correlated with anger, and in the end my own disgust about me not setting the right boundaries (because I wouldn*t have to deal with the symptom of it, being in other people, if I decided rightfully for me and my needs early enough... I just don*t dare, yet). And also the sensation of anger being hot, and disgust cold. I called or call it always (more or less blind, and helpless, confused) "hate", the coldness, the numbness. Maybe, I should investigate again. - Thank you for sharing 🌺
Wow you are so right ! and as I was hearing your words an instant realisation came to me as to why perhaps we deny or reject disgust ,perhaps is because maybe we mistake it for judgement , and if you are anything like me I have been abused and traumatised by judgmental , closed minded people and they can really do some damage in the unsuspecting so the last thing I want to be is like them. The thought being the type of person that can cause that much damage in someone’s life completely consciously is actually disturbing and definitely not something I want to be and there’s not many things I like about myself but I do like the fact that how I affect other people really concerns me, I guess I see that as one of my virtues because it means that I’m not anything like them/The people that hurt me so in return denying, rejecting and suppressing that emotion as again you’re completely right shame is in twined with disgust. And unfortunately and ironically we are actually judging ourselves not realising that judgement and disgust are not the same thing as disgust is an involuntary emotional and bodily reaction-whereas judgement is a conscious thought process. Perhaps it’s because shame seems to be attached to both judgement and disgust so that’s where the confusion is. I don’t know …what do you think ? Anyhoo just thinking out loud 😊 question is disgusted and repulsed the same thing ? 🤔
I have a tip, for those who aren't super in touch with their feeling of disgust. I realized that I will make a face of disgust before I even realize that I'm feeling it. I've started to use it as a meter. If I realize I'm making a face of disgust of something, it's not for me. I don't even need to feel the thing. I'm just trusting my face because apparently it knows more than I do :-)
I was trauma bonded with a very toxic person. Disgusted l allowed such abuse. After healing l realised l was always shocked and disgusted by him. Disgusted keeps me detached permanently.
I have a huge amount of repressed anger and disgussed aimed at those close to me who neglected me (that I could live with) but really harmed the person I loved most (that, I can't handle so easily). I couldn't really do anything to fight the situation, so am probably disgusted with myself also. I also have kidney and gut issues, so it's all adding up!
thanks, i kept repressing and supressing or spiritual bypass disgust (even food and cleanliness stuff) for years because thought it is limiting emotion. only lately been allowing it more
You are amazing, you just keep giving me one major piece at a time 🧩 Thank you beautiful Lauren for sharing 💙 And great job on being so brave and on figuring all this out 🙌
wow, thank you so much for highlighting this overlooked primal emotion! This explains so much about the physical and emotion difficulties I've had over the years. Disgust! I need to process and release it. This was a brilliant discussion, I found it to be a eureka moment :) Honestly, I'm excited at the thought of feeling my disgust moving forward. It seems to instantly resolve self-shame for me. As if a lot of the shame I feel, is actually repressed disgust for others that couldn't previously be expressed, and it turned inward onto the self as shame. just how, like you said, repressed anger turns inward on the self and creates depression. Expressing anger resolves my depression, and expressing disgust resolves my shame. This enlightening revelation you've shared here is such a tremendous gift. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. I had a very strong experience being disgusted by someone who was a very beautiful and kind person but very emotionally needy, and I didn’t fully understand it until now ❤
I’m so glad to have found your channel. I really like how you are so transparent and authentic with your healing process to help us to be with these emotions within ourselves as well. I could feel anger in my right kidney. There were gallstones founded in my ultrasound. I could feel grievances is lodged in that area as well. I feel to heal the messes in the world is to heal ourselves first. All the best to you and everyone here, who are brave enough to do the works to heal, so that we don’t continue to hurt one another.💛✨🙏🏼
Wow, Thank you. This one will bring me a long way. I have a lot of shame bount to disgust, and i am terrified of my own disgust. a constant fight to repress it.
Thank you so much.... Im only just starting to notice shame. I can't feel anger unless I'm in my own space. I will be observing your tips for disgust.... Appreciate you so much ❤
Oh my god. I've feared nausea, uncomfortable stomach feelings and ESPECIALLY vomiting for a long time. That makes me think that I definitely fear my disgust. I find it hard though to name what exactly it is that I would be disgusted by. When you mentioned seggsual trauma that is not yours, another light bulb lit in my head - I know for a fact that a maternal ancestor went through that and then developed similar panic issues that I now have. Wow. Lately my body has made me feel a lot of those uncomfortable stomach feelings and my diaphragm has been "pumping" something for the lack of better words. Unfortunately I get overwhelmed (I fear vomiting so much...) when that happens and it feels the release is not complete. I literally have told the feeling, not now, I'm not ready. Idk if that is bad. I trust it will build up and with every instance my tolerance grows. It's just really slow...
My relationship with my mom is laced with utter disgust. And it is not that she is gross in any way. I just can’t even think of her or look at without feeling disgust. And it is all due to her way of treating me. I REALLY need to release it. For my sake, not hers
I surprised myself the other day by writing disgust as a feeling I was feeling/suppressing while doing some journaling. I haven’t worked with or really given much thought to the feeling disgust before.,you’re so right it’s not really talked about much. So I was eager to see this video show up and I do see its impact and plan to dive into it I can see that I have much repressed in that regard. Thank you.
Once I was trying to remember all the characters from Inside Out and the only one I couldn’t remember was Disgust. My brain is very literally blocking me from feeling it.
Wow, I think this is a major missing piece in my recovery. After watching this I was full on sobbing and wailing, and now I feel numb. I don’t even know where to begin
Wild wild wild. The disgust i have around food and the way I eat and how others are with food has been suppressed by so much shame and anger and hatred towards the self. This just helped me so much too bad i am driving or I would be on the floor dry heaving
OMG Thank you beyond thank you I’m gonna do what you suggest in this video I’ve been looking a video on this topic ! This is an answer to a prayer ! I’ll let you know what happens after doing these somatic exercises! You are a genius Thanks for being the Pioneer for this very important topic . And no one really does talk about it and I listen to a lot of content to try find answers to the physical conditions going on within my body 🙏❤️
Wow! I’m so happy i found this video. You talk about emotions the same way i think of them. And disgust, something I’ve felt in my marriage lately. I will do the exercises tonight. Can’t wait 😅
Thank you. I have been working with disgust for the last few months as started showing up regularly. And I can see the connection with being cold all the time as we are coming into winter and I don’t feel the cold as much as ever. I will use any trigger opportunities to work with it till it is integrated fully. ❤
Wow! I've learned a lot about cptsd, but disgust has NEVER came up. Very very interesting this! Thank you! The curled up lip and the icky feeling is something I know very well, but I never put a name to it. ❤🙏
This is awsome May i suggest that once the particular feeling is there, the coldness of dicussed fot example, rather than continuing with the urge to wipe that energy off your skin, if at that point you just stay perfectly still, feeling the urge to move and wipe, feeling the sensations of cold etc but just feeling those and not moving, you may find you go deeper into the bodies felt memory and it will eventually start to really purge all on its own. Dont dramatise it but just let it ruse and fall rise and fall giving this hurt part of you all the time in the world to fully reviel and heal itself This is not trying to get rid of the feelings but more really allowing this now felt trauma in you to come out of seperation and be embraced however it is
On point I’ve been trying to figure this out and came with three epiphany of repressed emotions lately .. jsut moved out after narc and alcoholic abuse and living with parents so it’s bringing. Up a lot
buddhist monks meditate on disgusting things to not feel disgusted by them as much. i think it might be another for of exercise to work with it by accepting the way they are. i might be overtly neurotic but i feel reinforcing disgust could be potentially problematic for me so maybe just acknowledging and validating it might be more stable
Thank you for this one. I have come aware of the feeling of disgust, bit I've never been able to put a word to it. This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing 💜🩵💛
Yessssss, such a big yes and thank you for pointing that to me today. I always thought it was just irritation but i definitely just realized I feel disgust on a daily basis for dealing with clutter in my house from my family. Now does it make me feel unsafe? Is it because it drains my energy? Very very interesting and revealing so thank you so much for sharing.

I have a mother like that and even being away from her makes me feel anger, sad and definitely, disgusted. I have nightmares about my mother and really disgusting dirty bathrooms.
Yes a missing puzzle piece. Thankyou, it made me think of women who are raped, u see in movies, they go to the shower and trying to wash of their disgust. So there is definitely something to it.
Rather than just saying it, emoting the feeling like purging it out of your system sends a message to our brain, the vile thing that was forced into me is being eliminated from our system. We need to feel it to release it.
I watched inside out 1 and 2 on Disney and I didn't know we had discust as an emotion. I was affected by CSA so bad it's actually my first memory having being CSA even in the crib, I didn't know why it felt like bugs crawling all over me every night.urs was so bad I got bleeding ulcers at around 7 years old hospitalized for it. When I told my mom about Dad she told me that I should be ashamed of myself. I heard that so much growing up at young age to teen years. Anyway, I always felt ashamed of myself no matter what I did. Now I'm 61 years old trying to understand why I have abused myself with alcohol and smoking. Surpressed emotions go deep. Now I want to quit vaping and it's hard, and I'm constantly disgusted with myself that I haven't been able to yet. How do I heal this? I've been so hard on myself I just gave up at a young age and had the attitude I didn't care about myself or anyone else. Depression has been a terrible part of my entire life. So how can I heal after 61 years of these emotions and quit smoking and drinking? I don't want to feel shame anymore. Or anger or fear for what I'm doing to myself. Then the religion I grew up in told us God won't forgive stuff. And it's a vicious cycle. Please help. Thank you for the video
And rather than trying to get that energy of feeling out, trying to be rid of it, remember that is a hurt part of you and that really needs to be allowed to exist just as it is in you in order to intergrate back into being a part of the whole of you. The problem with hitting pillows etc is you are unintentionally attacking a part of you by trying to get it out. Forgetting that that only exists because of attack or abuse, and getting rid of it inhibits the healing of your relation ship with this feeling of you and dosnt allow your learned bias and fear of that to fully resolve Sorry if i made this sound to complex but i have found it is an important last step in normalising your sense of any natural sensation that has been distirted for you from being abused or used in the wrong or unatural way, you know like sex often is….to became fully comfortable with a natural feeling of sex for someone who has been sexually abused rrequires being with the feelings of sex until that bias (such as discussed) comes to an end Then all that remains is the untainted natural feeling I know this is full on but it is a final step we often forget or avoid taking
im in a disgust crisis every day. and i was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2019... but the disgust shows up most right now in the context of eating. which has left me unble to feed myself. but its also a sensory experience. with smells and textures. it actually makes me want to d*e and i love how people tell me to call the crisis line...when im hungry lol. as if. this world is fucked.
If the parental disgust was of childhood bodily functions (and immature emotional needs), which of course also occur to some degree in adulthood and during illness, disability, and later life. Is it the same method to become comfortable with this kind of phobia? It seems like the opposite of being unconditionally loving to increase the disgust, if it’s about your own body, as well as self or emotions or needs. It seems self-attacking, increasing self-rejection, unlike expressing and validating the other emotions.
@@ceciliamac4283 disgust is a somewhat normal reaction to bodily fluids or dysfunctions for obvious reasons but if someone has experienced a lot of parental rejection of this and then rejection from others through life, etc. I’m open to increasing exposure to the feeling but it seems like something is missing to provide healing, regulation, comfort. This video seemed more focused on disgust directed towards others as a way to suppress anger rather than revulsion coming from others or about tangible physical things (own body) we can’t get away from.
This is profound. I stay cold. I have a hard time feeling anger but I’ve never considered disgust. I am disgusted with the emotional abuse from my ex husband

The thought being the type of person that can cause that much damage in someone’s life completely consciously is actually disturbing and definitely not something I want to be and there’s not many things I like about myself but I do like the fact that how I affect other people really concerns me, I guess I see that as one of my virtues because it means that I’m not anything like them/The people that hurt me so in return denying, rejecting and suppressing that emotion as again you’re completely right shame is in twined with disgust. And unfortunately and ironically we are actually judging ourselves not realising that judgement and disgust are not the same thing as disgust is an involuntary emotional and bodily reaction-whereas judgement is a conscious thought process. Perhaps it’s because shame seems to be attached to both judgement and disgust so that’s where the confusion is. I don’t know …what do you think ? Anyhoo just thinking out loud 😊 question is disgusted and repulsed the same thing ? 🤔
I have a tip, for those who aren't super in touch with their feeling of disgust. I realized that I will make a face of disgust before I even realize that I'm feeling it. I've started to use it as a meter. If I realize I'm making a face of disgust of something, it's not for me. I don't even need to feel the thing. I'm just trusting my face because apparently it knows more than I do :-)
I was trauma bonded with a very toxic person. Disgusted l allowed such abuse. After healing l realised l was always shocked and disgusted by him. Disgusted keeps me detached permanently.
I have a huge amount of repressed anger and disgussed aimed at those close to me who neglected me (that I could live with) but really harmed the person I loved most (that, I can't handle so easily).
I couldn't really do anything to fight the situation, so am probably disgusted with myself also.
I also have kidney and gut issues, so it's all adding up!
thanks, i kept repressing and supressing or spiritual bypass disgust (even food and cleanliness stuff) for years because thought it is limiting emotion. only lately been allowing it more
You are amazing, you just keep giving me one major piece at a time 🧩 Thank you beautiful Lauren for sharing 💙 And great job on being so brave and on figuring all this out 🙌
You just uploaded and I clicked right on it 😊.
I would like to extend a Tremendous amount of Gratitude! I needed this!!!!
❤️THANK YOU❤️ 🥰
wow, thank you so much for highlighting this overlooked primal emotion! This explains so much about the physical and emotion difficulties I've had over the years. Disgust! I need to process and release it. This was a brilliant discussion, I found it to be a eureka moment :) Honestly, I'm excited at the thought of feeling my disgust moving forward. It seems to instantly resolve self-shame for me. As if a lot of the shame I feel, is actually repressed disgust for others that couldn't previously be expressed, and it turned inward onto the self as shame. just how, like you said, repressed anger turns inward on the self and creates depression. Expressing anger resolves my depression, and expressing disgust resolves my shame. This enlightening revelation you've shared here is such a tremendous gift. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. I had a very strong experience being disgusted by someone who was a very beautiful and kind person but very emotionally needy, and I didn’t fully understand it until now ❤
I’m grateful I was alerted to this video. It’s deeply insightful and tremendously helpful. It may be the missing piece for some of us.
I’m so glad to have found your channel. I really like how you are so transparent and authentic with your healing process to help us to be with these emotions within ourselves as well. I could feel anger in my right kidney. There were gallstones founded in my ultrasound. I could feel grievances is lodged in that area as well. I feel to heal the messes in the world is to heal ourselves first. All the best to you and everyone here, who are brave enough to do the works to heal, so that we don’t continue to hurt one another.💛✨🙏🏼
Disgust: discussed! 😁
Thank you
This was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Blessings
🙂♥️💜🙏✨️
thank you so much for this, really needed it right now
This is so powerful to discuss! Thank you💞
Everything about this video resonated with me! Thank you 💛
Wow, Thank you. This one will bring me a long way. I have a lot of shame bount to disgust, and i am terrified of my own disgust. a constant fight to repress it.
This makes so much sense.
Thank you!
Thank you so much.... Im only just starting to notice shame. I can't feel anger unless I'm in my own space. I will be observing your tips for disgust.... Appreciate you so much ❤
Thank you so much my life has been changed
Oh my god. I've feared nausea, uncomfortable stomach feelings and ESPECIALLY vomiting for a long time. That makes me think that I definitely fear my disgust. I find it hard though to name what exactly it is that I would be disgusted by. When you mentioned seggsual trauma that is not yours, another light bulb lit in my head - I know for a fact that a maternal ancestor went through that and then developed similar panic issues that I now have. Wow.
Lately my body has made me feel a lot of those uncomfortable stomach feelings and my diaphragm has been "pumping" something for the lack of better words. Unfortunately I get overwhelmed (I fear vomiting so much...) when that happens and it feels the release is not complete. I literally have told the feeling, not now, I'm not ready. Idk if that is bad. I trust it will build up and with every instance my tolerance grows. It's just really slow...
Once disgusted is felt, also comes up critisim. The relationship is over. I could not stay any longer. I felt so intolerent of this person finally.
My relationship with my mom is laced with utter disgust. And it is not that she is gross in any way. I just can’t even think of her or look at without feeling disgust. And it is all due to her way of treating me.
I REALLY need to release it. For my sake, not hers
I surprised myself the other day by writing disgust as a feeling I was feeling/suppressing while doing some journaling. I haven’t worked with or really given much thought to the feeling disgust before.,you’re so right it’s not really talked about much. So I was eager to see this video show up and I do see its impact and plan to dive into it I can see that I have much repressed in that regard. Thank you.
I'm so glad you posted about this, it resonated with me, very intriguing, thank you immensely ❤
Once I was trying to remember all the characters from Inside Out and the only one I couldn’t remember was Disgust. My brain is very literally blocking me from feeling it.
Wow, I think this is a major missing piece in my recovery. After watching this I was full on sobbing and wailing, and now I feel numb. I don’t even know where to begin
Wild wild wild. The disgust i have around food and the way I eat and how others are with food has been suppressed by so much shame and anger and hatred towards the self. This just helped me so much too bad i am driving or I would be on the floor dry heaving
Thank you so much for this video. I agree with every one in these comments this helped me see myself in a way that I needed. ❤🙏
OMG
Thank you beyond thank you
I’m gonna do what you suggest in this video
I’ve been looking a video on this topic !
This is an answer to a prayer !
I’ll let you know what happens after doing these somatic exercises!
You are a genius
Thanks for being the Pioneer for this very important topic .
And no one really does talk about it and I listen to a lot of content to try find answers to the physical conditions going on within my body 🙏❤️
Wow! I’m so happy i found this video. You talk about emotions the same way i think of them. And disgust, something I’ve felt in my marriage lately. I will do the exercises tonight. Can’t wait 😅
Thank you. I have been working with disgust for the last few months as started showing up regularly. And I can see the connection with being cold all the time as we are coming into winter and I don’t feel the cold as much as ever. I will use any trigger opportunities to work with it till it is integrated fully. ❤
I must have repressed anger because when I do meditation my body temperature goes up and it should drop.
Thank you ,I never thought body temperature could be an indicator for repressed emotions. I know body weight is too 🙏
Its true that allowing the feeling of disgust to surface and to feel it will process another layer of emotional healing . Been there
Shock of awareness....shocks the body. Cold and needing allot of sleep and vomiting are releaseing what l avoided. Relisation hurts.
Wow! I've learned a lot about cptsd, but disgust has NEVER came up. Very very interesting this! Thank you! The curled up lip and the icky feeling is something I know very well, but I never put a name to it. ❤🙏
This is awsome
May i suggest that once the particular feeling is there, the coldness of dicussed fot example, rather than continuing with the urge to wipe that energy off your skin, if at that point you just stay perfectly still, feeling the urge to move and wipe, feeling the sensations of cold etc but just feeling those and not moving, you may find you go deeper into the bodies felt memory and it will eventually start to really purge all on its own. Dont dramatise it but just let it ruse and fall rise and fall giving this hurt part of you all the time in the world to fully reviel and heal itself
This is not trying to get rid of the feelings but more really allowing this now felt trauma in you to come out of seperation and be embraced however it is
Thank you so much. The examples are SO helpful!!! This video is amazing. Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing here.
Omg! So enlightening ❤
On point I’ve been trying to figure this out and came with three epiphany of repressed emotions lately .. jsut moved out after narc and alcoholic abuse and living with parents so it’s bringing. Up a lot
Thanks for sharing ❤
buddhist monks meditate on disgusting things to not feel disgusted by them as much. i think it might be another for of exercise to work with it by accepting the way they are. i might be overtly neurotic but i feel reinforcing disgust could be potentially problematic for me so maybe just acknowledging and validating it might be more stable
So good…so insightful! 🔥
thank you for sharing this really is helping me
I do believe disgust is repressed anger- exercise!!!
Thank you for this one. I have come aware of the feeling of disgust, bit I've never been able to put a word to it. This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing 💜🩵💛
I love this. Thanks!
Thank you so much ❤
Yessssss, such a big yes and thank you for pointing that to me today. I always thought it was just irritation but i definitely just realized I feel disgust on a daily basis for dealing with clutter in my house from my family. Now does it make me feel unsafe? Is it because it drains my energy? Very very interesting and revealing so thank you so much for sharing.
Oh wow. This is so helpful.
I am new to you! Like what I seee!

Thank you! ❤
This is so good thank you
Wow. Thank you.

I have a mother like that and even being away from her makes me feel anger, sad and definitely, disgusted. I have nightmares about my mother and really disgusting dirty bathrooms.
Thank you ❤
Yes a missing puzzle piece. Thankyou, it made me think of women who are raped, u see in movies, they go to the shower and trying to wash of their disgust. So there is definitely something to it.
Great video
Do you have any book suggestions on disgust or trauma? I don’t know where to start.
Rather than just saying it, emoting the feeling like purging it out of your system sends a message to our brain, the vile thing that was forced into me is being eliminated from our system. We need to feel it to release it.
wow!!! didn’t have the faintest idea
I watched inside out 1 and 2 on Disney and I didn't know we had discust as an emotion. I was affected by CSA so bad it's actually my first memory having being CSA even in the crib, I didn't know why it felt like bugs crawling all over me every night.urs was so bad I got bleeding ulcers at around 7 years old hospitalized for it. When I told my mom about Dad she told me that I should be ashamed of myself. I heard that so much growing up at young age to teen years. Anyway, I always felt ashamed of myself no matter what I did. Now I'm 61 years old trying to understand why I have abused myself with alcohol and smoking. Surpressed emotions go deep. Now I want to quit vaping and it's hard, and I'm constantly disgusted with myself that I haven't been able to yet. How do I heal this? I've been so hard on myself I just gave up at a young age and had the attitude I didn't care about myself or anyone else. Depression has been a terrible part of my entire life. So how can I heal after 61 years of these emotions and quit smoking and drinking? I don't want to feel shame anymore. Or anger or fear for what I'm doing to myself. Then the religion I grew up in told us God won't forgive stuff. And it's a vicious cycle. Please help. Thank you for the video
Intrigued!!!
Thank you
And rather than trying to get that energy of feeling out, trying to be rid of it, remember that is a hurt part of you and that really needs to be allowed to exist just as it is in you in order to intergrate back into being a part of the whole of you. The problem with hitting pillows etc is you are unintentionally attacking a part of you by trying to get it out. Forgetting that that only exists because of attack or abuse, and getting rid of it inhibits the healing of your relation ship with this feeling of you and dosnt allow your learned bias and fear of that to fully resolve
Sorry if i made this sound to complex but i have found it is an important last step in normalising your sense of any natural sensation that has been distirted for you from being abused or used in the wrong or unatural way, you know like sex often is….to became fully comfortable with a natural feeling of sex for someone who has been sexually abused rrequires being with the feelings of sex until that bias (such as discussed) comes to an end
Then all that remains is the untainted natural feeling
I know this is full on but it is a final step we often forget or avoid taking
Lauren - I am new. Interested in why you think neglect trauma specifically leads to fatigue, can you direct me to where you explore that? Thank you!
Lack of safety produces feeling hyper vigilance and that's survival mode. In somatic theory is shut down or dorsal vagal. It leads to fatigue.
Gotcha thank you
im in a disgust crisis every day. and i was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2019... but the disgust shows up most right now in the context of eating. which has left me unble to feed myself. but its also a sensory experience. with smells and textures. it actually makes me want to d*e and i love how people tell me to call the crisis line...when im hungry lol. as if. this world is fucked.
As the narc father of our child sat there and lied in court I made this face, I notice I cannot really make it again without actually feeling disgust.
Pancreas too... Caused by cronic deppression, inability to express anger and poor regularity in dietary habits.
If the parental disgust was of childhood bodily functions (and immature emotional needs), which of course also occur to some degree in adulthood and during illness, disability, and later life. Is it the same method to become comfortable with this kind of phobia? It seems like the opposite of being unconditionally loving to increase the disgust, if it’s about your own body, as well as self or emotions or needs. It seems self-attacking, increasing self-rejection, unlike expressing and validating the other emotions.
I’m not sure I understand your question. Could you clarify ? 🤍🙏🏼
Are you asking if someone is disgusted by themselves?
@@HazeFight yes
@@ceciliamac4283 disgust is a somewhat normal reaction to bodily fluids or dysfunctions for obvious reasons but if someone has experienced a lot of parental rejection of this and then rejection from others through life, etc. I’m open to increasing exposure to the feeling but it seems like something is missing to provide healing, regulation, comfort. This video seemed more focused on disgust directed towards others as a way to suppress anger rather than revulsion coming from others or about tangible physical things (own body) we can’t get away from.
@@laurah2831 I see what you mean now. Thank you for sharing and clarifying. I’m sure Lauren will address that in a beautiful way!
Love your way 🤍
What if the disgust is with yourself?
i wonder what is relation between annoyance and disgust
Wondering , could my constant nausea be from heretofore unrecognized / unaddressed disgust?!!
I am not ok.
I am glad you disgust this . . . . .
How come we, as humans, started to shut out these primary emotions to start with?
Tbh none of us stand a chance in life since we are all potty trained with shame.
