We present a model of disgust-induced avoidant processing of autobiographical memories contributing to the persistence of psychopathology. Following the model, autobiographical memory retrieval is biased toward disgust-related experiences. Critically, disgust promotes the avoidance of specific autobiographical memories by reactively aborting the processing of those memories or by strategically preventing access to them, making disgust appraisals immune to corrective information. In the context of eating disorders/body image, studies provided consistent evidence for a bias toward disgust-related memories of their own body in women with a more negative body image. Although the current research casts doubt on disgust-induced strategic avoidant retrieval of body-related memories, it provided initial evidence for reactive avoidance of such memories. Insight into the role of disgust-induced avoidant memory processing as a transdiagnostic mechanism may help in understanding the refractoriness of disgust-relevant psychopathologies (including depressive and trauma-related disorders) and point to the necessity of therapeutic strategies to address disgust-induced avoidance.
