#198 - Klaus

Klaus is an executive in Germany. He shares his experience with misophonia and how it has affected his career and personal life. We talk about growing up in an early family life that was very old-fashioned and rigid, and where he also had a brother who presented signs of possible OCD, and parents who could not understand and were constantly trying to discipline. He discusses the challenges of working in open offices and how certain triggers can disrupt his focus and cause stress. Klaus also explores the idea that being in an active and engaging environment can help distract from misophonic triggers. Klaus also reflects on the role of rigidity in misophonia.  They also discuss the value of connecting with other misophonic individuals and forming communities for support. --- Web: https://misophoniapodcast.com Order "Sounds like Misophonia" - by Dr. Jane Gregory and I Sponsored by the personal journaling app I developed: Basal - hellobasal.com For iOS and Android Writing prompts and summaries for your journal entries by AI from the perspective of a therapist.
