Description

You might not have heard of misophonia, but if you are often infuriated by the sound of chewing, breathing, snoring, a clock ticking, or any other specific trigger, you may have experienced it. In fact, it’s thought that one in five of us have it.

Sounds Like Misophonia addresses what the condition is, how it manifests, and provides a guide to managing it. Written by clinical psychologist Dr Jane Gregory, who founded the first two misophonia clinics in London and Oxford, this is the first practical self-help book to make sense of the condition, and help you design your own treatment plan tailored to your unique experience.

Using techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Jane guides readers through evidence-based strategies and step-by-step exercises to review and adjust patterns of reacting to sounds. With humour and understanding, Jane offers practical ways so you can get on with life in this noisy world. Jane is joined by contributor Adeel Ahmad, host of the popular Misophonia Podcast, who shares case studies from other sufferers around the world.

There is no cure for the condition, but Sounds Like Misophonia helps provide solutions to living a fulfilling life, instead of fighting against it.

Critic Reviews

For those who don’t necessarily need therapy but would benefit from the information. The Times
Empathetic, thoroughly informative and succinct ... a milestone of a gift in a book. Combining the latest in fact-based information and field-tested tools for living with misophonia, this book is deeply validating and witty. Dr Gregory will be your friendly and helpful companion in the maelstrom of living with this complex disorder. Cris Edwards, founder of misophonia charity SoQuiet
A fascinating, friendly and funny book for everyone, even people like me who don't have misophonia and didn't know it existed until devouring this work. I shall considerately spread the word! Alex Horne, comedian and creator of Taskmaster
Excellent -- Fern Brady, comedian and author of Strong Female Character
This book is a rare combination of clarity, accuracy, humility and usefulness. It is highly accessible and is going to be useful for anyone suffering from Misophonia, their loved ones and professionals who want to support sufferers in overcoming the difficulties associated with this previously poorly understood problem. The book manages to strike an excellent balance between offering an understanding of how the problem works and converting that understanding into practical steps. If you want or need to know more about Misophonia or how to manage it, there is no better way than to read this delightful book, which manages to convey complicated ideas with enjoyable ease. Professor Paul Salkovskis, University of Oxford and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust
Written in a very accessible, entertaining way, this terrific self-help book explains this challenging problem and details what to do about it. Lots of interesting real-life examples and practical strategies will guide you to figure out which techniques will work for you—and which won’t. Optional passages about research are clear and understandable and you’ll find the suggested exercises illuminating and helpful. I recommend this book highly! Judith S. Beck, Ph.D. Clinical Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania President, Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
A trailblazing first book of its kind. With feet planted firmly both in the emerging science of misophonia and the authors’ own personal experiences, this is book that traverses complicated concepts and ideas with grace, compassion, and brilliant humor. This is a must read for laypeople with misophonia and their families, as well as for clinicians across disciplines. M. Zachary Rosenthal, Ph.D. Director, Center for Misophonia & Emotion Regulation, Duke University
An outstanding resource for clinicians and patients alike. Through personal stories, humour and science, described in a way that makes complete sense, the reader is navigated wonderfully through the reasons for misophonia and the ways to manage this super-guardedness for sounds. Michelle G. Craske, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, UCLA
A bible for anyone who has ever listened to their spouse chomping loudly on cereal and seriously contemplated divorce. The Mail on Sunday
'... you can find relief with the coping strategies outlined in this book - the first dedicated guide to misophonia.' Top Sante
