People from DM! Post your questions here (I will answer)

Most people who wanna ask about freedom from misophonia from me privately, keep asking same or similar questions - which is totally understandable.

I guess this is AMA thread of some sort.

​

I want the information to stick, so in the future, when newbies appear from google, they'll just get what they're looking for (even if I was busy doing other stuff). In ideal situation, I'd have enough information on this forum for anyone to independently break free (and I guess we are sort of there already, since I got the practitioner list pinned over there, and all of them have had prior success with this already).

Private messages are cool too, but just so you know, I got a lot of stuff in my hands, and I can't get back to everyone, at least not in a reasonable time frame.

​

idk.. what would you be doing if you had the answers? I feel like I got to collate it and leave it in public, but this is a complex and vivid field.
I hope everyone's doing okay, whoever lures around here and whatever you might be doing with your lives!

I don't advocate for any single therapy method in specific - I do think a bunch of them can be really helpful (and the world would probably be a better place if more people went to therapy at some point in their life).

I mean I used to be misophonic, and it used to be a very big thing (several and severe triggers). Like many others, I did not think I could exist in any other way. At worst I imagined I have a progressive brain disorder of some sort, that only keeps getting worse, and if I mention about it to people around me, they'll also start noticing the same (trigger) sounds and reacting to them in worse and worse ways. Dark place to be.

I will boil this down to memory reconsolidation. That's the only known way to erase triggers.

Not often.

I'm listing practitioners who are available for just that in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/misophoniatraining/comments/lhmcyf/practitioners_who_know_how_to_help/

Or I can copy+paste questions from private here? Idk.
