Hah, that’s kinda what I’m trying to do. When I encounter something that gives me the ick, I take pictures and stare at it, in the hopes that it will desensitize that gut reaction. Only had very mild success so far.

You might try combining sensations to overcome aversion like that, instead. Choose something that you get much enjoy the sight, sound, taste, or feel of and interact with that while also engaging gently with the item/experience you’re averse to. 🤗
