The Misophonia Podcast
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.

Kresta (2024) - Overcoming Misophonia through Understanding HSP
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week I’m bringing back a guest who has been one of the most popular guests on the show. Kresta is a trama therapist and founder of Misophonia Freedom Lab. If you recall Kresta had misophonia and says she has been able to overcome it. We talk about that of course, but we also focus on the idea of HSP, highly-sensitive people. There is overlap between the two and I think it’s always illuminating to learn about HSP to inform misophonia, and vice versa.Kresta also talks about some exciting projects like the Misophonia Freedom Project which is looking to gather data from people who say they have overcome their misophonia and try to find patterns and pathways that might be useful for others.
