    #195 - Mother and Daughter Share Misophonia
    Jun 13 2024

    Tracey and Leah are a mother and daughter living near Philadelphia who both have misophonia, and in fact Leah attends the same school Tracey teaches at. We talk about their first triggers and how they were received across the decades. We talk about how Tracey’s misophnonia informs how she helps her daughter. Tracey also shares how Buddhism has helped her and Leah talks about accommodations she gets at school. Finally we spend some time at the end talking a little more philosophically about what we think about misophonia, is it a medical defect or a trait with a message. I do just want to point out this was being recorded outdoors so you will hear some birds chirping and very occasionally a low rumble here and there.

Misophonia Mindfulness

I am so grateful to have recently discovered this podcast! I have been struggling with misophonia since I was 12 years old but it has been most unbearable the past 5 years - especially during the pandemic. I am a casting director and single mom in Los Angeles....so many noises and sounds trigger rage, fight or flight, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and feelings of madness. After a recent episode, it became clear that intervention was necessary. Thank you for your calming and honest approach to an absolutely maddening disorder.. I look forward to listening to more episodes and learning ways in which I can provide personal peace.

Fantastic

It is absurd that such a powerful neurological reflex is not described in the DSM-5 or ICD-10. As a member of the medical community, I am glad to see that this podcast exists.

I particularly appreciate that the podcast features behavior analysts at the top of the field (e.g. - Tom Dozier).

The host is very respectful and empathetic while asking great questions.

It would have been a 5-star review...

.... but, i found myself holding my breath with a tenseness building the longer I listened. No triggers other than my own memories and my elevated heart rate. This was my first time I've listened to anything regarding misophonia. Which I've recently been able to give my phonetic sensitivities... including the LED's he was talking about. I can relate. Being that I'm now 61 yrs old, all I can think of right now is, "My poor wife." :)

Excellent resource for those with misophonia!

This provides resources that have used successfully, and some not so much. It’s great to just hear others are like you, empathy in the ability to relate, really makes life more bearable.
