I'm Sandra Wilson, a registered Clinical Hypnotherapist/psychotherapist, in the UK and online. I help people who struggle with extreme noise sensitivity, chronic hair pulling/skin picking, ADHD symptoms, OCD and severe anxiety.
You might be experiencing severe distress from problems which you cannot control - often this can be noisy neighbours particularly DIY, dogs or kids. You might experience anger/rage/disgust when you hear people eat, breathe, chew, cough, snore or move repetitively. You might have developed coping mechanisms you don't want such as hair-pulling (trichotillomania) or skin picking. Hypnotherapy is NOT a cure but it CAN help you identify the root cause (this might surprise you!) and find peace and more freedom to enjoy life on your terms.
I have this issue with my neighbours. Currently it sounds like a gym nextdoor to my bedroom. It causes flanking through the whole house and makes me feel sick, gives me heart stabbing pains and wakes me up. I tried to complain by text but thscaused the situation to escalate because they did it more and more to entice a responce from me. Police said to not fall for the trap but ignore them. Before the gym it was parties, chainsaws, DIY, I'm saving up for soundproofing. Not sure if that will help.
Hey! Just saw the videos you posted based on my previous comment! Thank you SO SO SO much for doing this for me, I found it VERY useful. You are a wonderful person, and I appreciate what you’ve done, have a great evening!!🫶🏻
Hello! Been struggling with my trich for about 2 years now, and am in counseling for it. Nothing seems to be helping, and I really want to stop. There was a point last year when I had no eyelashes, so I realized I needed to stop. I solved my eyelash pulling problem but now I can’t stop pulling out my head hair. Any suggestions?
It sounds like you haven't yet healed the underlying "root" of the problem! You managed to stop the eyelash pulling - so that is really positive. However if you haven't yet resolved what drives the urge, then it will continue. I am going to do a new video about this. I am a clinical hypnotherapist so I work a lot with the subconscious mind - this is what controls our urges and impulses. Counselling can be helpful but it doesn't always get beneath the surface. I might be able to help you so just reach out if interested :)
Thank you Ma'am for sharing. 💕 I knew there had to be a name for this - Misophonia. However, I don't agree with just accepting this that which is disturbing my peace, my health and energy. I do what I have to do in this on-going situation with what I call the N.O.U.Ns. - Noisy Obnoxious Upstairs Neighbors! I usually make myself scarce most of the day and if it's at night 🌙 I have security and the autho on speed dial!
The breathing and thinking that I am safe really help. Even though I still get jumped and blood boiling etc by the noise, breathing and thinking I am safe helps calm my body. Hopefully eventually I can over come the noise and not get triggered by it anymore.
Interesting, no fight or flight, like training your body to not react to the noise? Deep breath, is that a 1-2 deep breath? or is there a certain rhythm to follow?
Just wanted to say your voice is totally fine! 🩷 I have extreme misphonia. Its getting worse the last couple years. I'm trying very hard to work through it. I really struggle with it to a point where I need noise cancelling earplugs.
I have misophonia. TV, quiet talking, breathing, chewing, mumbling, crying, ah sounds, ooh sounds…everything. MynDad is deaf, his TV is naturally louder but I CANT DEAL. I’m sorry to my family I’m sorry for having this stupid disorder.
I had the best neighbor in a townhouse where their garage is under my master bedroom. Instead of hearing music they put a subwoofer under my bed area in their garage that you didn’t hear but felt bed vibrating would turn it higher almost like being shocked. At 3-5am. Someone I never spoke to btw. Just decided to start doing this I guess to make me move.
Can’t remember the last time you “did something for yourself”? All my ex did was spend time shopping and getting her hair or nails done. Then she filed divorce, called me a narcissist, and started choosing to see her new boyfriend instead of her own kids.
No my dear. The reality is the people have anti social behaviour when they laugh loud and speak loud when they know they live next to people with open balconies.
My neighbour's son laughs funnily from his home or when I go outside in my garden, or when he sees me which is a trigger point for me. His father also laughs and speak loudly when he sees me or from his garden when I go to my garden.
The below comment is exactly true. I feel so enraged but I want to ask something. Firstly, will i have misophonia forever? Is there any cure or likely to be in the later future? Secondly to all misophonia people like me: does the noise echoe in your head afterwards? It does for me. It echoes until the sound is dried up and distant. I miss my normal life. Now i have to stand and watch guard of everyone's mouths at dinner
Weirdly I have this for sure. And I'm a 6'4 130kg 40 year old aussie while male. It started when we lived in a house and it was just a nightmare......... it started one day, a neighbour moved out another in........ then then winged our mailbox was on her retaining wall, we moved it then she watered the mailbox, moved our bins, another neighbours daughters grey up and had parties....... doors wide open doof doof doof to like 2am, we called the police many times, there were kids constantly kicking balls outside....... I asked them to go to the park (2 mins down the road) his father took issue with this, then he would start a harley at 5am and let it warm up........ to annoy us knowing we hated loud noises....... there were more parties, more kids, then there were dogs barking, went to council....... we had a neighbour behind us, their probably was 1m higher then ours (retaining wall)..... their dogs barked at the fence 1-2M from our hall window........ for hours, there were an illegal breed, not registered, there were dogs 2 neighbours beside them same deal....... barking for 6-8 hours at a time......... combined it was a NIGHTMARE for me..... I had the weekends off, I couldn't sit in my own house peacefully, headphones wouldn't work nothing would......... it created this condition I now have I think........ every time we have a new neighbor move in (as we just have)....... I start to think F....... here we go again, they are always younger.......... older people are quiet, younger people are generally louder. Come home, they'd apparently been playing music all day from like 10am, it was now 5:30pm........ I yelled at them in rage, dunno if they heard me. But they had a party last night, not too loud thankfully............ but if it gets worse ........ I am worried, we cannot afford to move etc and where do you even go. You have to be rich to get something useful. Over here we'd need like 2-3 million dollars to buy a property close enough with enough space to have peace, nobody nearby. I am already looking and planning in my head. I just spent 10k adding car parks for my daughter and her boyfriend at the front of the house so they weren't parking on the grass which gets muddy in winter......... and now I face this. I am a big dude so sometimes when I am angry it has an effect as I may be scary I dunno....... but ultimately, I do not wish to be like that and the truth is people just need to TEACH THEIR KIDS to be considerate of others.......... clearly not the case. I think the people across from me who just moved in are maybe tradies, maybe a tradie I dunno, looks like a meathead...... I haven't had good experiences in my life asking people to shut up, I have tried nicely a few times, it's basically a 50% chance they listen, some just tell you to F off......... or act nice to your face then continue on. These days I just report it to council consistently....... I do have patience on matters, I know I am oversensitive but when my children complain to me about it......... my instinct is GO MODE. My kids know I'll fire up, my daughter likes to read and her room faces this new neighbor etc....... she was annoyed as she woke up early and wanted to sleep more before work...... They park on your properly like......... Maybe I am a Karen, I bought a bigger/big enough property to accommodate my kids etc if we stayed here for the rest of our lives with cars multiplying etc and alot of people around me are forced to buy the smaller properties the problem is tho.......... those with the most cars, buy them......... lol very silly.
If your Neighbour is a Narcissist and refuses to leave you alone....keeps you awake at Night.. every Night....deep breaths just won't cut it... another thing is... putting up and shutting up gives these idiots a reason to continue...you can politely ask them to keep it down..but the chances are if they do it at unreasonable hours...then that makes them ignorant to start with....they definitely won't comply...so it's game on... I've had 6 years of noise nonsense...I have tried EVERYTHING....now I'm going at their level...so we understand one another
I already had mysophonia since 2019 it started from the constant droppings & stomping from my above neighbour who just moved in with their toddler, and suddenly the goverment decided to built a new playground infront of my house with constants screaming from kids & banging from my top neigbor.. it made me go crazy back then but everything slowly getting better now but every noises really triggered me now even when im in public or when i hear screaming kids, idk it just felt like trauma
Hello to you all. I have suffered awful noise, thumping, door slamming, abuse etc. OK, I AM IN LONDON, AND I WANT TO START A SUPPORT GROUP IN LONDON SO THAT WE CAN ALL NOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE. PLEASE POST IF YOU THINK THIS A GOOD IDEA. AT LEAST WE CAN SHARE WITH EACH OTHER. I AM A FORMER SOCIAL WORKER, AND HAVE TRAINED IN COUNSELLING. Please do let me know. God blessx
This is completely bad advice, especially if your misophonia is triggered by a certain sound by a family member. In my case I have what could be called selective misophonia. I have a severely disabled child who is nonverbal that makes very loud sounds and screams all the time, obviously, I cannot lean into the anger response when I am triggered into a fighter flight and my nervous system that would be abusive to him and I am not an abusive mother so there has to be other ways to regulate the nervous system when there is nothing that you can do about the actual sound that is triggering you
Since lovely youtube won't accept my full, very long post: My mom died 2 and a half years ago from the stress caused by our extremely noisy upstairs neighbors. (Hellspawn) I'm extremely sick and slowly dying as well. There is no "coping", only pain.
Mack's Soft Silicone Ear Plugs were the only ear plugs that ever worked for me. I would break one in half, stick one half into each ear, and then use another plug to cover my ear holes. Then I would use soft wireless sleep headphones playing brown noise, or put my box fan on high, and it helped a LOT with drowning out the noise of my inconsiderate upstairs neighbors. However, it did not help the impact vibrations, or when someone dropped something on the floor. A couple months ago, I finally moved out of my lower-level apartment and rented a room on the top floor of a shared home. I found it on FB Marketplace. When I went for the interview, I made sure to ask about sleep schedules, noise rules, etc. I finally have some peace. I hope this might possibly help someone else here find a little relief. I'm so sorry for everyone going through this. I understand and it's terrible. Life-ruining...
