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.
