This week I'm talking to B about navigating misophonia from childhood through their twenties and into their thirties. We talk about those early memories—kicking the back of their dad's truck seat during long drives, the anxiety of asking for accommodations, and how substance abuse became a way to cope when triggers felt unbearable. B shares how they've learned to be more direct about their needs, the relief of having friends who truly get it, and why Loop ear plugs and white noise have been game-changers. We also dig into some heavier territory—growing up in an anxious household, being raised by a mental health professional while still struggling to get support, and the tension between quick-fix psychiatric care and deeper healing. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation about surviving misophonia and slowly learning to advocate for yourself.
