Tracey and Leah are a mother and daughter living near Philadelphia who both have misophonia, and in fact Leah attends the same school Tracey teaches at. We talk about their first triggers and how they were received across the decades. We talk about how Tracey’s misophnonia informs how she helps her daughter. Tracey also shares how Buddhism has helped her and Leah talks about accommodations she gets at school. Finally we spend some time at the end talking a little more philosophically about what we think about misophonia, is it a medical defect or a trait with a message. I do just want to point out this was being recorded outdoors so you will hear some birds chirping and very occasionally a low rumble here and there.

Marina is originally from Romania and now lives in the UK. Like many others who have been on the podcast recently, Marina only recently found out about misophonia and has been learning as much as she can and has been diving into the book Sounds Like Misophonia by Dr. Jane Gregory and I. We talk about the challenging environment of her childhood with an alcoholic father, there is mention of abuse in the home so I want to note a content warning. Her family life became quite strained due to their lack of understanding of what she was going through and we talk about various coping methods including makeshift earplugs and finally leaving home for university. And we talk about how her fiancé has been coping with her misophonia and her interesting career journey initially in the legal profession and now as a dental nurse. Great conversation and it’s exciting to hear someone find solace in speaking out about misophonia and finding comfort in the community.
