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.

#210 - Connecting misophonia to childhood trauma and healing.
This week I’m talking to Alex from beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. Alex shares her lifelong journey with misophonia, which began at age 11 amid a turbulent home life. She opens up about how her sensitivity to sounds, especially during family meals, became tied to a need to escape overwhelming emotions. Through therapy, Alex discovered how these triggers were linked to deeper childhood trauma and learned to reframe her reactions with self-compassion. From feeling isolated and misunderstood to finding tools for healing, Alex’s story is a powerful reflection on resilience, emotional awareness, and the path toward self-acceptance.
