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.
Dr Jane Gregory is a clinical psychologist. She created the website Sounds
Like Misophonia and has been living with misophonia since she was 8 years
old.Adeel Ahmad is the host of the popular Misophonia Podcast, the only
podcast about people that don't like listening to other people. The podcast is

US and has lived with misophonia since high school.
