Episode #75- Emotional Disgust

Some people feel a wave of repulsion toward emotions, their partner's, or their own. In this Secure Love Club session, Julie Menanno explores emotional disgust: a feeling of revulsion toward emotion that quietly damages both connection and your relationship with yourself. She distinguishes it from shame, describing a distinct flavor of self-disgust that carries a different quality, and shows how disgust toward a partner's feelings shuts intimacy down fast. Understanding this reaction with awareness rather than judgment is what begins to soften it. You will learn where emotional disgust comes from, how it shows up in the body and in your reactions, and why it is not a character flaw but a learned protective response. Illuminating for anyone who has felt inexplicably turned off by emotion, or sensed a partner recoil from theirs, and wants to understand what is really happening. The full teaching is inside for members.
