Re: New Member post - biofeedback and neurofeedback question

[Guest guest]

Neurofeedback is a type of Biofeedback. Neuro is the one that is effective based on what I have learned here.Welcome to the group, we all feel your pain Sometimes telling people about your disorder can relieve stressful situations as they will be more understanding. Curing it could take years...as you would need 80-100 treatments (so research shows) and also is very hard to get covered under insurance...so is very costly :(Glad to have you though!Subject: New Member post - biofeedback and neurofeedback questionTo:

Good Morning! I am a new member to this group.

Misophonia started with me around age 12-14. The sound of my brother eating, my mom chewing gum, or tapping her hand on the steering wheel to music would drive me nuts. I could hardly eat dinner with my family without getting annoyed.

I am now 25 years old and am still struggling with Misophonia. My boyfriend chews with his mouth open and chews like a cow. Sometimes I give him mean looks and get in bad moods when we eat. I feel terrible about it because he's not doing anything wrong. I would do anything to stop this issue. I haven't told him about my issue yet and we have been dating for a year. I would like to try to cure it before telling him!

My 27 year old sister also struggles with Misophonia. We didn't know anything about Misophonia until I was researching about a month ago and realized that other people were dealing with this same issue. I'm glad to know there is a name for what we have.

Cures/Treatments:

I bought a hypnosis tape, but that didn't seem to help at all. After reading some of the posts on here, I am researching neuro-feedback and bio-feedback options. Does anyone know the difference and which one may be more effective??

Thank you!!
