Misophonia Unmasked: A Deep Dive with Dr. Zach Rosenthal
“A lot of people with misophonia are bothered by absolutely every person who chews, but it's just something that I hear over and over again. So they'll either try to run out of the room or they might fight and snap at you, insult you, mimic you. And so that's a really difficult position to be in, and I want to recognize that for those of you who may have a loved one with misophonia that that is a really painful way to feel, and the person with misophonia also feels immense shame and guilt.”
