Testimonials from Misophonia Clients
Sara's understanding of the brain, physiological responses, and specifically misophonia has allowed me to better understand my stress response and ensure I am taking the proper steps to take care of myself physically, mentally, and spiritually to minimize misophonia's impact on my life. - Cole
Sara's insights and expertise helped me recognize misophonia and my reactions to it. We were able to take misophonia out of the driver's seat by observing and normalizing the anger, shame, and guilt that comes with it. I felt incredibly seen, and my relationship with misophonia went from excruciating to entirely manageable. - Ray
Understanding the biological mechanism behind the misophonia response has helped me reduce the shame and confusion I feel when I experience “fight or flight” from hearing others chew. Using exercises such as “completing the defensive response cycle” has been incredibly helpful in releasing some of the panic and anger I feel when I am triggered. Sara’s understanding, kind, and strategic approach has helped me both cope in the moment and dig deeper into why I may be experiencing misophonia in the first place. - Maya
My path with misophonia began as a post-traumatic brain injury diagnosis at age 51, and I also have tinnitus & hyperacusis; of the three... my "miso" life has proven to be the most challenging. Sara's Somatic Experience, & "parts" sessions have brought immense hope and healing along with a sense of agency over my nervous system that I wondered if I'd ever have again. While I'm not done yet, I am so grateful for Sara's empathetic style, compassion, and expertise ... it truly has been life-changing. - Nathan
Working with Sara, especially using Internal Family Systems methods, has helped me feel more integrated, balanced, and connected. Processing trauma with her approach has calmed my nervous system, encouraged me to be more accepting of myself and others, and ultimately eased my misophonia. It’s a relief to live with less anxiety and more curiosity. - Steve
Sara has transformed my life by not only providing coping strategies but also delving into the underlying causes and past traumas that contribute to my condition. Over the six years of therapy, Sara's guidance has empowered me to understand my responses and prioritize self-care, which reduces the debilitating effects of misophonia and helps me to lead a more fulfilling life. Her focus on holistic healing has reshaped my perspective on misophonia, and provided me with guidance and support for management of my stress and triggers. - Maddi
Sara's approach and techniques have helped me to recognize what I actually can control when the immediate moment seems unmanageable. I can now recognize how my body feels, acknowledge it, and then use techniques I've learned to make it through these moments. Sometimes my life with misophonia has to be lived moment by moment, but using Sara's techniques have created new patterns which have helped me reduce the physical anxiety which in turn has helped me regulate my brain and emotions to make the moments I do experience more manageable. - Rachael
Misophonia affects the entire family. Sara's experience as an LMFT makes her uniquely qualified to do this work. I'm so grateful we found her. - Erik
I used to be so ashamed of my misophonia. After working with Sara, I learned how misophonia works and how to really listen to my body. I felt empowered and began to not only accept, but appreciate that misophonia is an important part of who I am. - Clare
