Sounds like misophonia : how to stop small noises from causing extreme reactions

Gregory, Jane (author.). Ahmad, Adeel, (author.).

Summary: Are you often infuriated by ticking clocks, noisy eating, loud breathing, or any other small sounds? Do you wish you could sometimes put the world on mute? You might not have heard of misophonia, but if sounds can send you spiralling, you may have experienced it. In fact, it's thought that one in five of us have it. 'Sounds Like Misophonia' is the first dedicated guide to help you make sense of the condition and design a treatment plan that works for you. Using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), clinical psychologist Dr Jane Gregory takes you through step-by-step exercises to change your relationship with sounds and streamline your coping strategies. Alongside you on your journey is podcaster and misophone Adeel Ahmad, who carries out experiments and shares case studies from volunteers around the world. With humour and understanding, 'Sounds Like Misophonia' offers practical ways to navigate this noisy world and live a fulfilling life, instead of fighting against it.
