This interview is part of The Misophonia Freedom Project. Therapists Sara Bidler LMFT, Kresta Dalrymple, LMFT, and myself are on a mission to collect stories of people who no longer have Misophonia or are doing a lot better from Misophonia. Let's change the narrative that we are broken!
(We had some connection issues, so there may be some awkward pauses!)
Joey Lott is a pretty special and amazing person who healed himself from misophonia, anxiety, and many chronic illnesses. I feel grateful to have spoken with him.
