Revulsion is a deep, intense feeling of disgust and loathing. It often arises when we encounter something morally or physically repulsive. This emotion can feel like a visceral rejection, making us want to distance ourselves from the source. In the RULER framework, revulsion aligns with high-intensity anger, characterized by negative valence and high arousal. While not explicitly mapped on the Geneva Wheel, it shares qualities with emotions like contempt and disgust, which are closely linked to moral judgments and physical aversion.
