Jennifer is from North Carolina. We talk about her early memories from her toddler years. She talks about her journey of seeking therapy and eventually being diagnosed with ADHD, which provided some understanding and accommodations. We talk about the potential interplay between genetics, early childhood development, and trauma. How stress and cortisol levels may exacerbate symptoms, and even talk about her alopecia, which is related to stress. She shares her experiences with specific triggers like whistling, and how she manages them. And finally she talks about really wanting to connect with others in the misophonia community.
