Luis is a translator based in Puerto Rico. Luis’ misophonia came up actually since the pandemic and he discusses the triggers he faces, such as construction noises and noises in places he’s lived. We spend a lot of time talking about empathy, or lack thereof from friends, family, and workplaces, and the challenges of finding understanding and validation. We also talk about the potential overlap with hyperacusis. Luis also reflects on his childhood experiences and how misophonia has influenced his pursuit of music. And finally, Luis explores the intersection of misophonia and spirituality, highlighting the role of self-care and empathy in managing miso.     --- Order "Sounds like Misophonia" - by Dr. Jane Gregory and I Sponsored by the personal journaling app I developed: Basal - hellobasal.com For iOS and Android Writing prompts and summaries for your journal entries by AI from the perspective of a therapist.
