MISOPHONIA RESOURCES
More than any other contributing factor, my neurology has shaped the person i appear to be.
What would now be termed the maladaptive behavior of my childhood and teens was rooted in the then-undiagnosed high sensitivity, misophonia and ASD1 (Asperger's) of my neurology.
It wasn't until my 60s, during the life assignment as houseparent with my wife of six at-risk teenaged boys that i learned the term 'misophonia' and began to recognize traits of Asperger's in myself. It took another almost ten years to accept the limitations of my Asperger's brain. Increasing symptomatic behaviors in an aging body made it more evident.
Turns out, i'm not the person i thought i was. It's all okay, as realization has also dawned that 'I' am not my neurology.
The i of the temporal person and the I of the eternal soul are distinct from each other and my deepest association is with the I which was before this body was formed and continues after its dissolution.
Before the great escape from the neurological prison of this body occurs, some things still have to be faced.
Facing the challenges and shadows has been my lifelong journey although the words weren't there for most of the way, to describe it. Tools 🛠 i created have been partially helpful, increasing in effectiveness. My latest combines conventional stretches by YouTube instructors with my breathing visualizations, below ⬇️.
