This week, Til welcomes back Todd Hargrove—Certified Rolfer™, movement educator, and author of A Guide to Better Movement and Playing With Movement. Together they explore one of the most primal, and often least examined, human emotions: disgust. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and his years of practice, Todd unpacks disgust as part of our behavioral immune system—a mechanism designed to keep us safe from harm that also influences our moral judgments, client relationships, and social divisions. In this conversation, they explore: • How disgust shows up physiologically and emotionally in practitioners and clients • The difference between protective instinct and unconscious bias • When disgust serves as a moral compass, and when it drives prejudice or separation • Practical ways to notice and work with disgust as a signal rather than a verdict • How turning aversion into curiosity can deepen empathy and compassion in practice At its heart, this dialogue invites practitioners to see disgust not as something to suppress or be ashamed of, but as a doorway into greater awareness, boundaries, and connection. ✨ Read Todd’s original article on disgust:👉 https://toddhargrove.substack.com/p/disgust ✨ Learn more about Todd’s books and writing:👉 https://www.bettermovement.org/books ✨ Watch this episode on YouTube:👉 https://www.youtube.com/@AdvancedTrainings/podcasts Sponsor Offers: • Books of Discovery: save 15% by entering \"thinking\" at checkout on https://booksofdiscovery.com/. • ABMP: save $24 on new membership at https://www.abmp.com/thinking. • Advanced-Trainings: try a month of the amazing A-T Subscription fre…","meta_description":"🎙A better understanding of the very human emotion of disgust can help us navigate boundaries, empathy, and connection in our hands-on work—and in the wide…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2515,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-thinking-practitioner-958450/episodes/155-the-value-of-disgust-what-our-bodies-tell-us-about-boundaries-connection-with-todd-hargrove/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-thinking-practitioner-958450/155-the-value-of-disgust-what-our-bodies-tell-us-about-boundaries-connection-with-todd-hargrove.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
