  • 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.

    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.

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.
