Feeling nauseated?
The physical urge to expel or reject, whether from actual toxins or psychological contamination. The body is trying to protect itself.
The unmet need
Physical and psychological cleansing; removal from the nauseating stimulus; restoration of a sense of purity or safety.
A question to sit with
Is my body trying to reject something physical, or is this a somatic response to something psychologically toxic?
What to do right now
Step away from the source. Get fresh air. Drink water. Breathe slowly through your nose. If psychological, identify what feels toxic and create immediate distance from it.
