Manage episode 509089434 series 3676754
What is “the Ick” that sudden shift from attraction to disgust? Most people call it avoidant attachment, but that’s missing the point and it's definitely only a tiny percentage. In this Relationship Autopsy I break down the real psychology of the Ick: primal disgust, projection collapse, loss of erotic charge, unconscious memory triggers, shadow material, social conditioning, and more. Learn when the Ick is your body’s wisdom warning you, when it’s just a defense against intimacy, and how to tell the difference. This isn’t shallow dating advice it’s a scalpel-sharp deep dive into attraction, boundaries, and intuition. If you’ve ever had the Ick, this episode will finally make sense of it.
