Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hopefully this will help: It took over 20 years and a variety of modalities but I successfully treated for PTSD because I too was convinced that the sound sensitivity was my very reasonable physio-psycho response to being horrifically abused (beaten, raped, sold, etc) from the age of 3 until the last incident at age 16 - all at the hands of my father. It looks and feels like the perfect response to trauma, doesn't it? It was about 4 years ago that I found folks with 4S/Miso but who did not share my history of abuse. I am now a happily mal-adjusted American but with the added benefit of being more grateful than most, more understanding than most, more forgiving, and more introspective than most. Yes my father was misophonic and I totally understand the rage behind his behavior. In my travels, I was told many things by wise and well-meaning negativity-bound folks: I was told that what is now known as 4S/Misophonia is my due because I'd abused someone in a past life or I had trauma past down to me via my DNA. If either of those (or other bits of great wise counsel) are true, someone just hand me a gun because I'm not going to play this anymore if there is no way I can be effective toward finding relief or a cure. I have been told that deep deep prayer might fix my DNA. But I find myself firmly based in science. In science, I have found the similarities between 4S/Miso and synesthesia, autism, epilepsy and maybe a few other ideas concerning calcium and neurotransmission and blood-brain barrier issues. I know my tone of voice here might get me thrown off the site because I am not being very inclusive or tolerant right now, but we all need to be sensitive to the beliefs/nonbeliefs of others. I very rarely " lose it " like this but frankly: enough. That's all. I'm done now. Thank you. No snipping for this on purpose. > > > Mike and Annie, > > I am not sold on past lives either, really against my believes. Its interesting your son will say, " I want to go home, " when he is home. I have said that all my life, even when I am home. It just pops out now and then. Not sure why I say this ? I am starting to believe Misophonia is genetic, even through most people around me thinks its environmental. > > Until Friday night (20/20), I just thought I was overly temperamental, when I heard certain sounds that would drive me over. > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
