As I understand it, to "shrink" jokingly describes the physical reaction to the thought of something mentioned by the other person which is due to a feeling of embarrassment or uneasiness. Search results for this phrase seem to support this explanation:
"I shrink to think on the mass of sorrow I have brought upon my daughters."
"and I shrink to think what will be left of our futures and our children's economic futures if left ..."
