Ever smelled something and instantly felt annoyed, triggered, or even sick?
That reaction is deeply personal.
In this episode, I break down the psychology behind the scents you don’t like—and how those reactions are often tied to past experiences, stored trauma, suppressed emotions, and even unresolved memories.
As a certified Aromapsychologist, I’ll walk you through:
- Why certain smells feel “off” or even overwhelming
- What your scent aversions are trying to tell you
- How your body and nervous system use scent as a subconscious signal for safety—or threat
- How you can use this awareness to heal, not just cope
It's not just about fragrance, it’s about memory, mood, boundaries, and embodiment. If you’ve ever felt a strong no to a smell and couldn’t explain why… this episode will crack something open for you.
