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.
