3/19/2024
Maja is a college student in Connecticut studying psychology. We spend a lot of time talking about her past, and the strained relationships with her family members that she had growing up and how they were impacted by misophonia. We hear about her father’s volatility and trouble with alcohol, the difficulty in being understood and accommodated at home.

And we spend a lot of time discussing therapy and healing from modalities such as parts work and inner child healing, mind-body regulation and how she is exploring various sides of spirituality. I love these episodes that delve into the childhood links to misophonia. It comes up a lot and in my opinion is being ignored by the research community in favor of surface-level approaches that can be delivered in a fixed period of time. --- Order "Sounds like Misophonia" - by Dr. Jane Gregory and I Sponsored by the personal journaling app I developed: Basal - hellobasal.com For iOS and Android Writing prompts and summaries for your journal entries by AI from the perspective of a therapist.
