Including interviews with real sufferers, the book aims to put names to a disorder that is known by few. Misophonia is a neurological condition that causes a fight/flight/freeze response to certain audial and visual stimuli. Written by a sufferer, Full of Sound and Fury, is a book about Misophonia's life impact. It can start as early as four in the morning. Your upstairs neighbor stomps his feet. All of a sudden, you go from being half-asleep and calm to a nervous wreck. You're tired, exhausted, and you're angry. How dare he stomp around and have no regard for your feelings or personal space? Rationality plays no part with Misophonia. Logically, you know he has no idea how loud he's being - but the response is the same. Shaylynn Hayes writes about her experiences, as well as others' in a way that can teach the general public about the disorder, as well as resonate with sufferers. With a foreword and research information by Dr. Jennifer Jo-Brout, Full of Sound and Fury is just the starting place when it comes to dealing with Misophonia. In partnership with her website www.misophoniainternational.com, as well as www.misophonia-research.com, Shaylynn aims to raise awareness.

Book excerpt: Compact and easy to understand. How does misophonia develop and what can be done to get it under control?Completely normal, soft sounds disgust Lisa and make her angry. She does not know what is wrong with her and her whole family is suffering with her. Then they find out that she suffers from misophonia and that she is not the only one. Many people are affected by misophonia. However, they often only find out much later down the road that their problem has a name. It severely limits their social life and their search for help is not an easy one, because misophonia is not yet widely known among therapists and in the medical community. Misophonia usually begins between the ages of 8 and 12. Lisa's story is a typical one, which you might identify with.

Download or read book Understanding and Overcoming Misophonia written by Thomas H. Dozier and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Misophonia Ruining Your Life? The 2nd edition includes recent research of brain imaging studies and physical response studies of individuals when triggered. It includes over 50% new information compared to the first edition, including more management techniques, personal stories of individuals with misophonia and their families, treatment techniques for young children, and data on a treatment that reduces misophonia severity by 50%. Does the sound of other people chewing fill you with rage? Do certain sights and sounds make you crazy when they don't bother anyone else? If so, you are not alone. Although not well known, misophonia is quite common, and there is hope. Are you tired of misophonia ruining your life? Are you ready to tackle your misophonia (or help a loved one)? If so, this book is for you. Recent brain imaging research indicates misophonia is a "soft-wired" neurological condition where a person has a strong emotional response of anger or disgust to specific sounds. The brain of a misophonic person being triggered does respond differently than someone without misophonia. The fMRI images are included. Triggers for some might be hearing someone chewing. For others, it is the sound of sniffling or breathing. Many people also have visual triggers such as seeing someone chew gum. There are a lot of common triggers, but there are also some that are very unusual and unique. Almost any sound or sight can be a misophonia trigger for someone. Misophonia can be upsetting and annoying, or it can be a debilitating condition. The book includes one story of getting Social Security disability for misophonia. Misophonia severity does vary, but it generally gets worse with time. There are important management techniques that are helpful to almost everyone. Recent brain imaging research indicates misophonia is a "soft-wired" neurological condition where a person has a strong emotional response of anger or disgust to specific sounds. The brain of a misophonic person being triggered does respond differently than someone without misophonia. The fMRI images are included. The good news is that "soft-wired" brain connections can change. Treatment for misophonia is still being developed and data collected. There are no published treatment studies on misophonia. Although there are no proven treatments that work for everyone, there are treatments that work for many. With proper management and treatment there is hope for reducing the horrible effects of this condition. This book will help you understand what this mysterious condition is doing to you (or help you understand what someone close to you is experiencing). It explains how misophonia develops and expands with time, and why those little sounds cause a person SO much distress. The book gives you many techniques that will help you manage this condition. Existing treatment options are described. There is hope. With proper management and treatment, most people can greatly reduce the effects of misophonia in their life. Developing misophonia has been a journey. Overcoming misophonia is also a journey, and it is a journey that can provide much relief for this horrible condition. It is journey that you should start today.

Book Synopsis Crack Smack Punch by : Rachel Cinelli
Download or read book Crack Smack Punch written by Rachel Cinelli and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sip, gulp, gasp. Chomp, smack, crack.What if the sounds of other people eating, drinking, and breathing sent you into a fit of rage?This is a peculiar, yet real condition called misophonia, also known as Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome. Misophonia is characterized by a strong, negative emotional and mental reaction to certain sounds that are considered everyday or "normal." Crack, Smack, Punch is an autobiographical, introspective account of living with this life impacting condition that is not well-known, yet not as rare as one might think. The author takes an off-beat approach by interjecting poetry, humor, and biting sarcasm to tell the story of this perplexing condition that she calls "The Curse." She shares examples of the sounds that trigger this extreme anger, explores ideas about possible causes for the condition, describes the effects on her everyday life, reveals the types of coping mechanisms she uses, and conveys her opinions about the way it is currently being treated.This book aims to enlighten those who don't understand the condition and encourage those who suffer to speak out. As people tell their stories and share their experiences, misophonia will continue to gain awareness from social and scientific researchers and more effective treatments can be explored.IntroductionThis book is a journal of the thoughts, ideas and experiences of someone who suffers from Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome, also known as misophonia. If you know someone who suffers from this disorder or are curious about it, this book will give you a holistic picture of what it's like living with noise sensitivity. Misophonia literally means "hatred of sound." Recently it has been gaining awareness as a new psychiatric or neurological disorder that is rarely diagnosed. "Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome" known as 4S for short, is a sensory processing disorder which some believe may be caused by abnormal or dysfunctional neural signals and is characterized by decreased sound tolerance.The disease is not well-known and uncovering successful treatments has been challenging. Two neuroscientists coined the name for this disease: Pawel and Margaret Jastreboff. Jastreboff is a doctor who has researched Hyperacusis and Tinnitus, two other audiological diseases that have some similarities to 4S. Misophonia has also been compared to phonophobia, or sound phobia, which is a different type of audiology disorder.People who suffer from misophonia experience anger, rage, pain, disgust, or other negative emotions that are triggered by specific sounds made by humans such as eating noises and breathing noises. Typical trigger stimuli include sipping, chewing, gum cracking or gum popping, and certain repetitive sounds such as typing, pen clicking and nail biting. Certain visual stimuli can also be triggers such as repetitive body movements. When this sensory information is processed, the sufferer experiences anxiety with an extremely intense emotional desire to stop the source of the noise. It is often compared to the type of torture that most people suffer when they hear the sound of nails scraping on a chalkboard. The level of irritation and annoyance that they suffer from these normal noises is considered irrational, and so misophonia is sometimes categorized as an anger disorder. The emotional distress caused by selective sound intolerance may lead to depression, decreased socialization and reclusiveness. Sufferers often use headphones, earplugs and white noise devices as coping mechanisms.This writing is an honest revelation of the disease and the hope is that others who share it will not feel alone. In turn, as people grow more aware, perhaps researchers, doctors, audiologists, and therapists will have an increased interest in the subject and will spend more time researching the disease. The greatest wish is for a truly effective treatment or cure to be found.

Book excerpt: Welcome to "Invisible Battles: Rare Psychological Conditions and Their Impact" This book is not a dense academic text meant for psychology professionals; instead, it's a journey into the lesser-known corners of the human mind designed for the common person. Imagine a world where the mind plays tricks , not with playful illusions, but with a relentless reality that feels entirely real. This is the hidden landscape of rare psychological conditions, where individuals fight battles invisible to the naked eye. "Invisible Battles: Rare Psychological Conditions and Their Impact" delves into the fascinating and often-misunderstood realm of these disorders. Forget the Hollywood dramatizations; here, we explore the true stories – the struggles to navigate a world that doesn't understand, the triumphs of resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges, and the complexities that defy easy categorization. Why this book? Because awareness is the first step towards understanding and empathy. We often hear about common mental health conditions, but there's a vast spectrum of rare psychological disorders that remain in the shadows. Through these pages, we aim to shine a light on these conditions, unraveling their complexities, challenges, and the individuals who navigate them. However, a crucial note: this book is not a diagnostic tool. It's not a checklist for self-analysis. Instead, it's an invitation to expand your understanding, to foster compassion, and to break down stigmas surrounding mental health. Remember, if you're leading a happy life and your daily routine isn't hindered by any unusual challenges, you're likely just fine. This book isn't about creating unnecessary worry but rather about fostering a deeper appreciation for the diverse ways our minds can work. But "Invisible Battles" isn't just about the darkness. We'll also explore the unexpected strengths that can emerge from these conditions. Synesthesia can unlock a world of vibrant creativity, while those with autism spectrum disorder can offer unique perspectives and talents. We'll see how facing seemingly insurmountable challenges can lead to incredible resilience and a deeper understanding of the human experience. So, let's embark on this enlightening journey together, delving into the worlds of rare psychological conditions with curiosity, empathy, and an open mind.

Book excerpt: There aren’t that many research studies on misophonia for now, but it is believed that about 20% of the American population may have it to some extent, but it’s unclear just how many really do suffer from it. Misophonia is a type of disorder where particular sounds trigger negative reactions in the person. The range of their reactions may simply be from feeling annoyed to experiencing difficulty in breathing. It’s still considered a novelty disorder, so not everyone usually recognizes its symptoms and links them to trigger sounds. It is also being studied if misophonia can be linked to other disorders such as anxiety disorders or tinnitus, as misophonia is often common in patients with those conditions. For now, there is no cure for misophonia, but experts are finding ways to manage them, to at least help the patients improve the quality of their lives despite having the condition. In this beginner's quick start guide, you will discover... What misophonia is all about Its symptoms and what it feels like The possible trigger sounds and risk factors A 2-week plan on how to manage misophonia How it’s diagnosed and treated How to manage misophonia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are you really missing out on? You're home on a Friday night, scrolling through Instagram, ready to go to bed. You see pictures on your timeline of a party you were invited to, but didn't go to. You were confident when you said no, but now you can't stop thinking about it, and you start feeling worse. You have FOMO, or, Fear of Missing Out. Coined in a Harvard Business School article, FOMO has become a global term to describe the decimating anxiety when thinking other people are having better, more fulfilling, experiences than you are. It's a natural, biological response, but that doesn't make it feel any better. Amplified by the rise of social media, #FOMO has become a cultural crisis—so what's the cure? Patrick McGinnis, creator of the term FOMO, has been thinking about it for seventeen years—and he has a solution: decision-making. Learning to weigh the costs and benefits of your choices, prioritizing your decisions, and listening to your gut are central to silencing FOMO and its lesser-known cousin, FOBO: Fear of a Better Option. After all, don't you want to feel comfortable and confident in your decisions? Written with self-evaluations throughout the book, Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice helps you ascertain and eliminate the parts of your life that are causing more anxiety than happiness. So give this a read, and then go to that party, start that new book, create a new goal—or don't. Make that decision, and be confident in it: it's the first of many of its kind.
