What helps with mental agitation of misophonia?

Posted by llilydolly @llilydolly, Dec 16, 2021

12-year-old granddaughter has had symptoms of Misophonia for about 18 months. It has recently gotten much worse. She has self-hate and is rejecting her family. She is beligerent and self-destructive, and has had to be hospitalized. This is believed to be a limbic nervous system abnormality. What treatments are available to treat the mental agitation and aggression?

Please Help me about my severe misophonia. Age 30 is when It got out of control for me. My own parent, people around and family members all trigger the sounds to the point I destroyed objects, verbally attacked my parent, and desperate to be homeless JUST TO ESCAPE misophonia sounds!!! I need help badly and this is not the real me! I can be normal but misophonia is stopping any normal in me! What is causing the madness in disgusting sounds I always have to hear! Someone give me advice please!!!

Kimberly, misophonia affects the whole family. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. Getting support can make a big difference. You might appreciate the information on the Misophonia Association's website, which includes a provider directory: https://misophonia-association.org/

Have you considered seeking counselling with cognitive behavior therapy or similar?

I have learned a lot about misophonia resources that have been life saving. I would be glad to talk with you if you want information I have spent a year gathering.
Also there is 2 training events coming up.
A misophonia conference in Albuquerque New Mexico on the second third and fourth of November and then through Macedonia international. They are offering a parent clinician and individual training for parents and people that work with our children on November 7 and 9th in the evening. If you sign up for the class you have access to the training for 30 days and you can use your signup for the entire family /team for your child. The lady teaching that has been a great resource for our situation. I would be glad to share resources if you want to email me.

Before placing blame on your granddaughter ONLY and for all the expectation to fall on her to make a change (that she may not have a physiological ability to do so), I would recommend an approach to understand which particular noises cause your granddaughter distress and have all family members contribute to adjusting their behavior to not cause such annoyances. It will help create a more harmonious environment for everyone. Family is teamwork and everyone needs to be ready to compromise.

If one having misophonia may seem like an inconvenience to others, the same goes if one is dealing with family members or friends with Autism. People must be open to making adjustments to their own behavior as well. I personally have never met one person who doesn't have an issue with something.
Family therapy is extremely important, and I hope that you and the rest of your family members will support each other, rather than conclude that your granddaughter needs to receive drug treatments and hospitalization.

This is a full family process! Must be addressed that way to be successful.
