You are not broken.
You are not alone.
A community, a course, and a body of quiet research for people whose nervous systems react to sound differently.. learning to thrive, not just survive.
I built cereal box forts at the breakfast table so I wouldn't have to hear my family eat.
That was me at ten years old. By eleven I'd stopped eating with my family altogether. For twenty-three years I thought I was broken, dramatic, a bad son, a bad brother. I had no word for what was happening to me. The word, when I finally found it, was misophonia.. and the discovery changed everything.
I am not a doctor. I am not a therapist. I am someone who lived with this for twenty-three years without a name for it, and then spent the next three learning how to sit at the table again. Thriving with Misophonia is the space I wish had existed when I was eleven.

This is not anecdotal.
Peer-reviewed science, not self-help. Every stat here is sourced, dated, and linked.
Americans estimated to have misophonia. That is roughly 1 in 27 people.. and most have never heard the word.
Dixon et al., 2024 — prevalence study
of people with misophonia report significant social difficulties. Nearly half are changing how they live to avoid sound.
Siepsiak et al., 2023
of participants in group CBT no longer met diagnostic criteria after treatment. Community-based approaches work.
Jager et al., 2021
of people with misophonia report suicidal ideation. This is not a quirk. This is a mental health reality.
Rouw & Erfanian, 2018 — large-scale survey

Honest answers to honest questions.
What is misophonia?
A neurological condition where specific sounds, often made by other people, trigger intense emotional and physical responses. It affects an estimated 12-20% of people and involves the brain's threat detection system activating involuntarily.
Is misophonia a real condition?
Yes. Neuroimaging studies by Kumar et al. (2017, 2021) at Newcastle University demonstrated measurable differences in brain connectivity and activation patterns. It is recognised in peer-reviewed research, though not yet in the DSM-5.
How common is misophonia?
An estimated 12.8 million Americans (1 in 27) have clinically significant misophonia according to a 2022 JAMA study. The true prevalence may be higher as many people are undiagnosed.
Can misophonia be cured?
There is no known cure, but symptoms can be significantly reduced. Group CBT reduced 37% of participants to below diagnostic threshold. Breathing techniques, mindfulness, ACT, and community support all show evidence of meaningful improvement.
Come sit with other people who feel sounds the way you do.
