Boy, has it really been tough getting back into the swing of things after last week. Thank goodness that I've finally finished some deadlines at work. Hopefully, the lessening of project related stress can help get things steadily back to normal. I really am trying to get back into the swing of posting blog entries more frequently - with new discoveries and deep thoughts that I continue to make on my quest for misophonia relief. One endeavor that I'm pursuing is the possibility of getting a "green light" to participate in a fMRI study on misophonia (I've got my fingers crossed that I'll hear soon).
I'm also still trying to find brief moments here and there to read "Sound Rage" and work on my own memoir. (It's getting there, slowly but surely.) I'm really enjoying what I've read in "Sound Rage" so far and can completely relate to so many of the examples. A lot of what the author wrote really resonates with me, almost like I'm reading my own voice. I still haven't gotten to the more scientific parts of the book yet. I did send a copy of the book to my uncle, who is a clinical social worker, to see what he thought. He and I have had MANY thoughtful discussions about misophonia since I first heard about the term last year. Since he's a professional therapist, I figured he might be interested in reading a more scientific book from an outside perspective than my own. (My family has only been learning about misophonia from my perspective, mainly since my aunt and uncle aren't major web-surfers like I am.) From what my aunt told me, he hasn't been able to put the book down since he got it a couple of weeks ago. (He's read it multiple times - which is typical when he really gets into a book like that.) I hope to at least read it through once by this weekend, so that I can start taking our conversations to another level.
On another note... Normally, I try to be good (and prompt) about posting information about research, articles, and other helpful information that I find to share with everyone, but given the events of last week, I haven't been doing much work on the computer besides work-work. So, here are some updates... I received an email from someone wanting to form a local misophonia support group in Southeast Michigan. If anyone is interested, send me a message via the "Contact Us" page and I'll forward the email to you. (You might be able to also go to MeetUp.com and search for the UK Misophonia group - which has posts from people here in the states looking to start local groups here.)
I also missed an opportunity to announce another webinar presented by Thomas Dozier this past Tuesday entitled "Overcoming Misophonia - Theory and Practice." Well, the techie gremlins must've felt bad that I couldn't share that information with my SenseHaven.com readers because I just received an email from Thomas saying that since he wasn't able to record Tuesday's webinar, so he's presenting it again tomorrow. For those of you who may be interested, I've included the message from the email below. (Please note:
I haven't seen the program, so I'm not able to comment about the content or the quality of the presentation. I'm just forwarding along information about how to attend the Webinar - should anyone wish to do so.)
