This week I’m very happy to bring back Lila, a past guest from August 2023. If you recall that interview, Lila had pretty severe misophonia and was even being triggered by a neighbor during our call. A lot has changed for her in the past couple of years - she is now on the other side of the world, back in the US. She tells her story of recently successfully overcoming misophonia. The modality she credits is hypnotherapy, which has come up in some online spaces as having helped people. In this conversation you’ll hear about Lila’s background, how she stumbled upon hypnotherapy, how her process works, and what it’s been like since she did it, and her current process of follow on sessions she does on her own. I hope this sheds some real talk on a topic that’s definitely outside the mainstream and has its supporters, skeptics, and detractors. For the record, as always I’m a curious and open-minded skeptic.

In this episode of Between Two Ears, I share highlights from my recent experience at MisoCon 2024 (The Misophonia Association convention in Atlanta). I discuss key presentations, including Dr. Jane Gregory’s insights on reframing sound experiences for managing misophonia and Jaelline Jaffe’s exploration of connections between childhood experiences and misophonia. I also reflect on the importance of informal discussions with other attendees, the thoughtful accommodations that make the event more comfortable, and the unique sense of understanding among fellow misophones. Join me for a firsthand look at this impactful gathering, plus live clips from attendees.

Paula is a psychology student in France. Paula first noticed misophonia when she was 13 or 14 years old and felt intense emotions when hearing eating sounds. It took several years for her to discover that misophonia was a real condition. Paula's parents were supportive but initially didn't understand what she was going through. She coped by eating at home and avoiding triggering situations. Paula is now starting therapy to help manage her misophonia and hopes to understand the triggers and find long-term solutions. Just a quick note that due to technical difficulties we got cut off a little abruptly near the end. It was just around the time we were ending anyways so you get pretty much the full conversation. Hope to have Paula on again in the future to maybe talk about her new therapy.
