  • Summary

  • Candid conversations with people who live with Misophonia. Misophonia is a disorder in which there is a strong sensitivity to certain sounds. A person with misophonia feels rage and an inability to focus on anything but that sound. It feels like a fight-or-flight response. Host Adeel Ahmad has misophonia and interviews other "misophones" from around the world. All episodes are edited to be more sensory-friendly including equalization and brown noise.

    #201 - Deb
    Sep 19 2024

    Deb is a New Yorker who has just recently been starting to put together the story of her misophonia. We discuss many of her childhood experiences including some of the chaos that resulted in a lot of tension in the house growing up. Deb also talks about her marriage and the lack of emotional connection she had with her husband. She reflects on the gifts of high sensitivity and the challenges of misophonia, and how awareness has changed her outlook. She discusses coping mechanisms and the importance of finding a therapist who is open to learning about misophonia. And finally she discusses what’s happening now in her relationships with the people in her life.

    #200 - Georgie
    Aug 28 2024

    Georgie is a recent neuroscience and psychology dual degree grad from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Georgie’s childhood shares many characteristics that I’ve found to be common among us, that is periods of walking on eggshells, turbulence and volatility. She also mentions other sensory sensitivities, such as visual triggers and sensitivity to vibrations. Georgie talks about her coping methods, including using white noise headphones and seeking accommodations in school. We talk about the many comorbid conditions she has been diagnosed with and medications she has taken and their effects on her misophonia. She also talks about her plans to pursue a career in clinical psychology. And of course she shares his experiences of social challenges and the shame and guilt associated with misophonia.

highly recommend to misos or their friends

I've gotten through a few of these and it has been compelling and heartwarming to hear the struggles with adversity that are so familiar to me. Thank you so much everyone. Until this was better defined we were not believed, told to ignore, tormented, excluded and in the end mostly had to hide it. If nothing else this contains great practical tips for managing the condition, which will be invaluable to young or struggling sufferers. I am still learning after 40 years and these stories are invaluable.
