Why You Hate Certain Smells: The Psychology of Scent Aversions, Trauma, and Healing!

Amy Robinson Season 1 Episode 5

Ever smelled something and instantly felt annoyed, triggered, or even sick? That reaction isn’t random—it’s 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

This isn’t 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.
