Bernadette,I'm crying with joy right now. I'm so incredibly happy for you and . Oh my goodness what an amazing day. This is a dream come true. I'm just overjoyed for you two.

We did it!!!!!!! and I ate dinner together in a restaurant today. We ate together!!!! SHE DID IT, SHE DID IT!!!! She has had so many improvements just within the last 2 weeks. Each day is a new improvement. It's hard to believe even with my own eyes, seeing it, and sharing it with her. Just this week, we went to 2 museums together, watched TV together, and talked for hours and hours.

All this happened just today:

Today we got up early and went to church for the first time since I don't know when. (years with the exception of her confirmation last year) It was a big milestone. It was her idea, it was something she wanted to do with the family. We were able to sit in church together. We got there and there was a priest visiting from another country. He said, one thing on his bucket list, was to learn sign language. It is something and I wanted to do so we wouldn't have to do charades. It is still on our list to do. So he precedes to sing a song in sign language wearing white gloves so we could see it. It was done to music to a song titled, I believe in you. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and heard, and I felt like it was done for us. We haven't been to church in years together besides her making her confirmation. The one mass we decided to go to, is the one with sign language, something, we often discuss. I couldn't help it, I cried like a baby. I have been so strong (and numb) thru all of 's hospitalizations, attempts, rages, etc. and I had to stay strong while she was suffering. Now the flood gates have opened and I'm thrilled at all her successes. It's so emotional for me. But then came communion time and I thought, "oh no, what do I do?" It's funny because I didn't know if I could go up for communion since that is, indeed, eating, but I did go and she gave me a look but she was okay.

After church, we went out to an aquarium and she faced another fear, she actually touched a real shark. She is deathly afraid of sharks. After that, we walked around an arts festival then went out for dinner. Yes, we went out for dinner. We ate together. I couldn't believe it. She was great. She used my husbands head phones for a little bit and she asked me to sit next to her so she didn't have to face me chewing. As if that was not enough of an improvement, we then went to a movie together. ALL things she wasn't able to do with me for years, she did in one day. These were all goals and dreams we wanted to do together and most of them happened in just one day. I am overcome with joy. I really can't believe it. I really can't.

Another proud moment was, last Friday; goes to NFB every Friday. My older daughter invited friends and cousins over for the day to go swimming and hang out. was home having a blast with her cousins but still left to go to NFB. That is unbelievable.... for her to leave a good time to go to NFB. I was so proud of her. She did it and was great when she came home. Then later that night, we were able to watch a movie together. God I hope I don't wake up tomorrow and this is all just a dream.

So much more, but I'm going to sleep. Talk with you all tomorrow.

P.S. Dr. J., tried meditation but it did not help her at all. She also tried EMDR and that didn't help her either, it made her worse. This is not to say EMDR won't help other people. Everyone has to try and see what works for themselves.

So very, very happy for , you, and entire family! I have tears I am so

happy for you. What I found with NFB is the improvements just keep coming until

all of a sudden one will eat a meal and it doesn't even cross your mind that you

use to get upset with that person when eating. I use to just hate even eating a

meal in the same room with my father-in-law even if he was on the other side of

the room. Now we sit side by side and enjoy meals together.

Going to a movie!!! Wow ... a true testimony that she is improving

dramatically. That may be the ultimate test for anyone with Miso.

Thank God ... my prayers are with you.

This is beyond wonderful Bernadette. I am so happy for both of you and even more encouraged that NFB is so far the best way to treat Misophonia. I wish the best in her treatment. We are all behind you. I want to see a follow up program eventually on 20/20,Mike Sent from my iPad

I am so happy for you and . My son has a milder case of misophonia and

has done only three sessions of NFB. I am feeling a little of the same

happiness since my son asked to go out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant two

nights ago. He sat with us while we all chomped on tortilla chips for starters.

Then he sat through a main course AND dessert. I cannot recall the last time

he ate with us. This was NOT something he would have tolerated before. It did

bother him some, but he was able to cope and even enjoy himself. He does not to

want to go to NFB sessions, but I am very encouraged by this and by your story.

Your story is very touching and helpful...thanks for sharing.

didn't have to face me chewing. As if that was not enough of an improvement, we

then went to a movie together. ALL things she wasn't able to do with me for

years, she did in one day. These were all goals and dreams we wanted to do

together and most of them happened in just one day. I am overcome with joy. I

really can't believe it. I really can't.

older daughter invited friends and cousins over for the day to go swimming and

hang out. was home having a blast with her cousins but still left to go

to NFB. That is unbelievable.... for her to leave a good time to go to NFB. I

was so proud of her. She did it and was great when she came home. Then later

that night, we were able to watch a movie together. God I hope I don't wake up

tomorrow and this is all just a dream.

themselves.

ate together!!!! SHE DID IT, SHE DID IT!!!! She has had so many improvements

just within the last 2 weeks. Each day is a new improvement. It's hard to

believe even with my own eyes, seeing it, and sharing it with her. Just this

week, we went to 2 museums together, watched TV together, and talked for hours

and hours.

> > Today we got up early and went to church for the first time since I don't

know when. (years with the exception of her confirmation last year) It was a

big milestone. It was her idea, it was something she wanted to do with the

family. We were able to sit in church together. We got there and there was a

priest visiting from another country. He said, one thing on his bucket list,

was to learn sign language. It is something and I wanted to do so we

wouldn't have to do charades. It is still on our list to do. So he precedes

to sing a song in sign language wearing white gloves so we could see it. It was

done to music to a song titled, I believe in you. It was the most beautiful

thing I have ever seen, and heard, and I felt like it was done for us. We

haven't been to church in years together besides her making her confirmation.

The one mass we decided to go to, is the one with sign language, something, we

often discuss. I couldn't help it, I cried like a baby. I have been so strong

(and numb) thru all of 's hospitalizations, attempts, rages, etc. and I

had to stay strong while she was suffering. Now the flood gates have opened and

I'm thrilled at all her successes. It's so emotional for me. But then came

communion time and I thought, " oh no, what do I do? " It's funny because I

didn't know if I could go up for communion since that is, indeed, eating, but I

did go and she gave me a look but she was okay.

we walked around an arts festival then went out for dinner. Yes, we went out for

dinner. We ate together. I couldn't believe it. She was great. She used my

Your words felt as if they might jump off the page and start dancing! Your joy

is so apparent and with good reason. Continue to celebrate those milestones

,which to many might seem small If they are blessed enough to be able to take

them for granted.

So happy for you!

We did it!!!!!!! and I ate dinner together in a restaurant today. We ate together!!!! SHE DID IT, SHE DID IT!!!! She has had so many improvements just within the last 2 weeks.

Anne, I am so so happy for you and only after 3 sessions, wow! I laughed when I read your note because we ordered nachos. Without even thinking, we ordered them and were chomping on them too. She was fine and in fact, very happy. I still can't believe it. She couldn't believe it either and she actually got all choked up and gave me the biggest hug when we left the restaurant. We took a picture to document the occasion. It's my favorite picture of us. Tell your son to keep up the good work. All the best to your whole family. Please keep us informed of his success stories.

I am so happy for you and . My son has a milder case of misophonia and has done only three sessions of NFB. I am feeling a little of the same happiness since my son asked to go out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant two nights ago. He sat with us while we all chomped on tortilla chips for starters. Then he sat through a main course AND dessert. I cannot recall the last time he ate with us. This was NOT something he would have tolerated before. It did bother him some, but he was able to cope and even enjoy himself. He does not to want to go to NFB sessions, but I am very encouraged by this and by your story. Your story is very touching and helpful...thanks for sharing.

to NFB. That is unbelievable.... for her to leave a good time to go to NFB. I

was so proud of her. She did it and was great when she came home. Then later

that night, we were able to watch a movie together. God I hope I don't wake up

tomorrow and this is all just a dream.

tried EMDR and that didn't help her either, it made her worse. This is not to

say EMDR won't help other people. Everyone has to try and see what works for

themselves.
