Basics
Disgust
Disgust is a basic emotion that appears when we perceive something as repulsive, unpleasant or potentially harmful. Its main task is to protect the body from what may be a threat - e.g. spoiled food, toxic substances, dirt or situations that violate our boundaries.
Disgust can concern not only physical things, but also behaviours, situations, ideas or relationships that are contrary to our values or sense of safety.
In the body there may appear a reaction of moving away - tension, a grimace of the face, a change in breathing, nausea or a need to move away from the source of disgust.
Disgust helps us protect ourselves, set boundaries and avoid what we perceive as harmful or incompatible with us.
