The Carousel in My Head

Sometimes it begins with something harmless.

A breath. Chewing. Clicking. A small sound that other people barely notice - and suddenly a war begins inside you. Your body tightens. Anger rises. You want to escape, while everyone else simply carries on.

For years, Frank Hübener worked with people whose lives and relationships were shaped by misophonia. Again and again, he encountered the same painful mixture: tension, rage, shame, withdrawal - and the hope that everything would be better if only the sound stopped.

This book asks a different question: What if the sounds were never the whole story?

The Carousel in My Head is not a conventional self-help guide. It offers no quick cure and no ten-step formula. It is an honest journey through anger, fear, grief, loss, control and the parts of ourselves that learned to protect us long before we understood why.

Through intimate stories, difficult encounters and moments of unexpected clarity, Frank invites readers to look beyond the trigger without denying the reality of their pain.

You may not close this book cured. But you may feel more honest, less alone - and perhaps a little closer to yourself.
