The "Butterfly's Whisper" Blog

Welcome to my blog. I hope by sharing my own misophonia experiences, others who are frustrated with misophonia sensitivities will discover that they're not alone. I also hope that people who may not have misophonia will gain some insight about what it's like to have this condition.

Please feel free to post any comments or use the "Contact Us" page if you have any questions/comments you don't want to post online.

New links to interviews about "Quiet Please" movie

The funny thing about having an office to one's self (versus working in a large firm) is that my exposure to misophonia triggers has drastically decreased. Other than the triggers I get when meeting with clients or sales reps, usually I'm in a quiet office with a wonderful view of the water for visual breaks. I guess that might be one of the reasons why I haven't been posting as much lately.

That's not to say that I am completely trigger-free. (If only that were the case). No, lately the majority of my triggers are at those client/sales rep meetings, at home whenever TV commercials come on (that goodness for the mute button and FF button!), or while doing errands in public. (Usually that last one is when a store employee is whistling while (s)he works. Damn that Disney song. LOL!)

I do have some new links to share about the "Quiet Please" documentary movie about misophonia. The film's creator has been interviewed many times since the premiere - including an article in the Huffington Post!

Hopefully this documentary will help promote more mainstream awareness about misophonia.  :-)

Hi, Mark. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'm still trying to get back into the swing of regular blog posts and updating this website. (Didn't help that when I got a new cell phone, I neglected to connect my SenseHaven email to the phone).

This website is pretty basic, so I haven't tried to set-up an email update subscription database. (I don't know if it's even possible, although given that you're not the first to ask me about it, I should really try hard to work with the host to see if it's possible).

Thank you for your interest though. It means a lot to me, and now that I'm in a better work/living environment, I hope I can get back into the swing of regular updates again.

Best regards

    About the Author

    Emlyn Altman has been suffering with misophonia for over 35 years, even though she only found out about the actual medical condition much more recently. As frustrating as the condition has been over the years, her heightened sensitivities across all the senses considerably influenced her talents within the visual fine arts (particularly sculpture), music (singing, piano, and many other instruments), writing, and culinary backgrounds, as well as professional achievements as an architectural lighting designer. Her goal in developing this website is to promote more awareness about misophonia and help other sufferers as well.
