If so, you are not alone. Although rarely known, misophonia is quite common, and there is hope. Misophonia is a neurological condition where a person has a strong emotional response of anger or disgust to specific sounds. For some, it might be hearing someone chewing. For others, it is the sound of sniffling or breathing. Many people also have the misophonic response to visual triggers such as seeing someone chew gum. With misophonia, a person has specific soft sounds (and sights) that they cannot tolerate. Misophonia can be upsetting and annoying, or it can be a debilitating condition. It may vary in intensity but generally gets worse with time. There are important management techniques that are helpful to almost everyone. 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. It also gives you many techniques that will help you manage this condition and explores the existing treatment options. With proper management and treatment, you can greatly reduce the effects of misophonia in your 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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Regulate, Reason, Reassure: A Parent's Guide to Understanding and Managing Misophonia, is a coping skills manual for parents to help their own children and teens manage misophonia. RRR was developed by Dr. Jennifer Brout through her own experiences as a clinician, a sufferer of misophonia, and the mother of an adult child who showed signs of misophonia at a young age. RRR gives parents the tools to help mediate misophonia and provides easy to follow guidelines and work sheets to ensure parents have the skills to continue practicing RRR with their child as they grow and develop. Dr. Jennifer Jo Brout is the Director of the International Misophonia Research Network (IMRN). She is a New York State Certified School Psychologist, a Connecticut Professional Licensed Counselor, and holds a Doctorate in School/Clinical-Child Psychology. Disappointed by her own experiences with the state of the field when seeking help for her own child in 1999, Dr. Brout began efforts to establish better research practice, improved diagnosis, and innovative clinical practice related to auditory over-responsivity. Dr. Brout has been at the forefront of research in this area for two decades, having established the Sensation and Emotion Network (SENetwork) in 2007, along with Sensory Processing and Emotion Regulation Program at Duke University in 2008 (now the Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation). She graduated from New York University, Columbia University, and Ferkauf School of Psychology (at Albert Einstein School of Medicine) respectively. She is also the mother of adult triplets and is a misophonia sufferer herself. Dr. Brout's workshops can be found at www.misophoniaeducation.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our eyes are involved in most of our experiences and in forming our memories. It seems logical that we can use our eyes to change hurtful memories. Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) was developed with this concept in mind. Emotions play an extraordinary role in our lives. Every event is labeled with a corresponding emotion in our brains. An experience can be characterized as pleasant or dangerous-or by any other identifier that influences our thoughts and actions or determines whether we want to remember a particular occurrence. Events do not change if the emotional labels are altered, but we think and react differently to different labels. People can go from feeling victimized to becoming proud survivors if the labels are changed. A crisis situation can become either a tragedy or a new beginning based on a person's emotional evaluation. ETT does not change facts, but it can help transform shame, fear, loneliness, emptiness, and other often paralyzing feelings, opening up a person to the possibility of more realistic and empowering mind-sets. ETT offers quick, goal-oriented treatment for severe psychological problems like PTSD, abuse, and eating disorders and everyday situations such as stress in one's professional life, anxiety that hinders achievement, and more. Learn more about this revolutionary new treatment method designed by a licensed clinical psychologist, and unlock the secret to fast, effective recovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coen (training and supervising analyst, Columbia U. Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research) offers advice to psychoanalysts working with extremely difficult patients. His central premise is that both patients and therapists have difficulty tolerating intense affects (such as loving and hating) and that the clinician needs to "feel with and for his patient, over a prolonged time, what she finds so terrifying" (emphasis in original). Also stressed is the need for clinicians to confront their own fears and doubts about treatment. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is increasingly used in forensic pathology practice in many jurisdictions. Such imaging has expanded the capacity to evaluate skeletal trauma improving the visualisation, documentation and presentation of forensic findings. Typically when deceased persons are located and exhibit evidence of trauma, forensic pathologist, anthropologists and radiologists base their interpretations of the mechanism of trauma on their experience and understanding of the biomechanics of fractures as well as recognisable patterns of injury. In order to augment this process, An Atlas of Forensic Skeletal Trauma presents a range of de-identified adult and child skeletal trauma cases that occur in medico-legal contexts where the cause of death and mechanism of trauma are recorded. An Atlas of Forensic Skeletal Trauma includes comprehensive photographs and PMCT images as well as descriptive text. Presents a valuable guide to the interpretation of skeletal trauma for practitioners and students of forensic anthropology, pathology and radiology Provides coverage of skeletal trauma cases resulting from high and low velocity projectiles, low energy blunt force (e.g., assaults involving various implements, hangings, strangulations, falls), high energy blunt force (e.g., motor vehicle and aviation incidents), and more Includes case studies with written and visual descriptions, discussions and up-to-date literature review

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When our expectations are met and things go according to plan, we feel a sense of accomplishment; we feel safe, in control, and on track. But when life does not live up to our expectations, we end up with an Expectation Hangover. This particular brand of disappointment is profoundly uncomfortable and can cost us valuable time and energy if not treated and leveraged effectively. Christine Hassler has broken down the complex and overwhelming experience of recovering from disappointment into a step-by-step treatment plan. This book reveals the formula for how to process Expectation Hangovers on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels to immediately ease suffering. Instead of wallowing in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, we can see these experiences as catalysts for profound transformation and doorways that open to possibility. Often it is only when life throws us a curveball (or several) that we look in a different direction and make room for the kinds of unexpected things that lead more directly to a life we love. By the time you finish this book, you’ll understand why your Expectation Hangover happened and have your own treatment plan — a clear course of action to pursue your goals while preventing future disappointment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book offers real hope' David Stockdale, CEO, British Tinnitus Association Tinnitus can be a difficult and distressing condition to manage, and many people with tinnitus are currently left to fend for themselves. Misophonia is an increasingly recognized, and equally distressing, condition which is likewise often overlooked by the medical profession, despite the acute anxiety it generates in those experiencing it. However, prospects for recovery have never been better, based on recent advances in psychology, auditory neuroscience and medicine. Because tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia present very differently and idiosyncratically from individual to individual, self-help techniques can often be effective in minimizing the distress caused by these disorders, which can range from lack of sleep and irritability, to loss of concentration and confidence. The latest edition of Living with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis looks at strategies for living with tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia, and includes a complete programme for recovery. It features the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and medicine to offer a full overview of the causes, impact, and most effective treatments available. It has practical advice on relaxation and sound therapy as well as insights into relieving the stress of auditory conditions.

The framework has been fine-tuned in multiple large-scale cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) training initiatives and is presented and demonstrated with applied case examples. The text is rich with case examples, tips, tricks, strategies, and methods for dealing with the most entrenched of beliefs. The authors draw from diverse therapies and theoretical orientation to present a framework that is flexible and broadly applicable. The book also contains extensive guidance on troubleshooting the Socratic process. Readers will learn how to apply this framework to specialty populations such as patients with borderline personality disorder who are receiving dialectical behavior therapy. Additional chapters contain explicit guidance on how to layer intervention to bring about change in core belief and schema. This book is a must read for therapists in training, early career professionals, supervisors, trainers, and any clinician looking to refine and enhance their ability to use Socratic strategies to bring about lasting change.
