This week I have two guests, Tressi and Brooklyn Disch. Brooklyn you may know has Brooklyn Disch who is a misophonia coach and has all kinds of resources on her website (link below). Tressi has worked with Brooklyn and has also published a book which is a fictionalization of many of her experiences living with misophonia. Both guests discuss the challenges they faced growing up, the lack of understanding and resources available, and how they eventually connected through a shared Facebook group. They talk about misophonia as not a defect but a trait that can be managed through various strategies, including reprogramming the mind and fostering connections with others who share similar experiences. Both of them have seen their misophonia greatly, greatly reduced. We touch on the skepticism surrounding alternative therapies. They discuss the role of meditation, the impact of childhood experiences, and the importance of understanding and advocating for misophonia as a distinct condition.

This week I’m very happy to bring back Lila, a past guest from August 2023. If you recall that interview, Lila had pretty severe misophonia and was even being triggered by a neighbor during our call. A lot has changed for her in the past couple of years - she is now on the other side of the world, back in the US. She tells her story of recently successfully overcoming misophonia. The modality she credits is hypnotherapy, which has come up in some online spaces as having helped people. In this conversation you’ll hear about Lila’s background, how she stumbled upon hypnotherapy, how her process works, and what it’s been like since she did it, and her current process of follow on sessions she does on her own. I hope this sheds some real talk on a topic that’s definitely outside the mainstream and has its supporters, skeptics, and detractors. For the record, as always I’m a curious and open-minded skeptic.

In this episode of Between Two Ears, I share highlights from my recent experience at MisoCon 2024 (The Misophonia Association convention in Atlanta). I discuss key presentations, including Dr. Jane Gregory’s insights on reframing sound experiences for managing misophonia and Jaelline Jaffe’s exploration of connections between childhood experiences and misophonia. I also reflect on the importance of informal discussions with other attendees, the thoughtful accommodations that make the event more comfortable, and the unique sense of understanding among fellow misophones. Join me for a firsthand look at this impactful gathering, plus live clips from attendees.
