A 70-year-old retiree and former software engineer from Pennsylvania describes a lifelong struggle with misophonia rooted in childhood trauma. He recalls early sensitivity to sloppy eating, the pivotal memory of his father striking his mother with a two-by-four, and how this event shaped his beliefs and reactions for decades. After discovering misophonia had a name, he pursued therapy, including EMDR and memory reconsolidation, which gradually transformed his triggers. Through a multi-session, memory-focused process—retrieving painful memories, replacing them with calmer, positive scenes, and integrating them into a cohesive narrative—he experienced a dramatic shift: church services became manageable, travel became feasible, and he could support others through divorce recovery groups. The conversation highlights the value of long-term, collaborative therapy, the power of guided memory work, and practical daily strategies that aided his recovery while underscoring that healing is an open-ended journey rather than a quick fix.
