Feeling revolted?

Deep visceral rejection and the urge to expel or distance from what feels contaminating. The body itself is saying "no."

The unmet need

Immediate separation from the source of revulsion; cleansing or purification; restoration of a sense of purity or safety.

A question to sit with

What boundary must I immediately establish? How can I physically or psychologically distance myself from this?

What to do right now

Remove yourself from the situation immediately if safe to do so. Say "No" firmly. Cleanse physically—shower, wash hands, change clothes. Create distance until you feel clean again.
