Wilbarger Protocol Technique

[Guest guest]

Since there are similarities and perhaps a relationship between between

misophonia and sensory integration and processing ( see

http://www.healthguideinfo.com/neurological-disorders/p100641/ for more info),

I wonder if by chance the Wilbarger Protocol Technique could be of some help to

misophonia sufferers like myself. My son, who is now 15, had sensory issues as

a young child. He didn't like the feel of certain materials, the texture of

certain foods, etc...,and this caused him behavioral problems. His

occupational therapist suggested we try the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol which

sounded like a ridiculous waste of time if you know anything about the

technique. However, we were desperate to help him and gave it a try not

expecting much to come from it, but were very surprised with the positive

results and the change in him. It was like night and day, a different child. I

wonder if anyone has looked into this technique for misophonia since the

suggestion is that it rewires the brain to sort of to calm the overreaction to

sensory stimuli such as sound. You can google it or read a little about at the

link below. It could have been a complete coincidence that at the time we

employed this technique, my son made a dramatic turn for the better, but I do

have to believe this probably had something to do with it. Might be worth a

therapist looking into or someone trying for misophonia.
