This was a really great book with plenty of practical information about how to manage sound sensitivity, largely through CBT but also with other methods too. It gives lots of different exercises and allows the reader to go through it out of order by suggesting at the end of each chapter where they might like to go next based on what next step they feel would be helpful. It is definitely a good first book for anyone suffering from misophonia who wants to see if they can better manage it.
With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
This book is SO INTERESTING. I've been dealing with misophonia for forever. My family tries to make me feel like a horrible person, but I know deep down that it's biological and anatomical. Thank you SO MUCH for approving me to read this because it helped me figure out some coping mechanisms. I will definitely be rereading this throughout my life when I get triggered. Such a blessing of a book.
Thank you Netgally for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve got interested in Misophonia soon after I realised the buzzing in my head at was tinnitus, because I became a little more sensitive to noises, particularly loud music with bells (such as Xmas music, I never liked it but it worsen)
I read this book from cover to cover once and my during my second reading I went backwards and forwards as the book suggested, this book ask you for your full attention and to be envolved as there are plenty of exercises to help you with the condition.
Most of the inner work and healing process would be painful and would take time, I’m not an expert myself so I’d assume you have to try anything to improve your own condition and if you think you have mild or full on misophonia this book will be a practical guide to get you started.
I think some of the exercises are actually quite helpful in other conditions such as anxiety. I don’t know if the ideas put out through out the book are suitable for neurodivergent patients though.
The book introduced some promising exercises, but I was hesitant to try them, probably through fear of how I'd react to putting myself through sounds of chewing.
I had hoped for more scientific and neuroscience-backed explanations for misophonia. I think it would have benefited from discussing underlying causes and mechanisms of this condition before going into therapies and coping mechanisms.
While the book shared personal stories from volunteers, I didnt relate to some of their experiences. Nonetheless, I’m sure these would be reassuring to others with misophonia.
This is a topic that I haven't seen much written about. At first I wondered how the author was going to fill a whole book about the topic, but it's an interesting read with lots of helpful tips.
Sounds Like Misophonia is an in-depth exploration of Misophonia, a rare condition characterized by an abnormal sensitivity to certain noises. It seeks to illustrate the far-reaching impacts of the disorder, detailing how it affects the lives of those who suffer from it. The author also provides a helpful guide on how to cope with this condition and maintain a healthy lifestyle despite its presence.
This book is a must-read for anyone struggling with Misophonia, as well as those who have family or friends affected by the condition. It offers a clear and concise breakdown of the symptoms and effects of this disorder and offers strategies on how to live with it without sacrificing well-being.
This book is for anyone suffering from Misophonia. It can also prove helpful to those who have loved ones who are always irritable around certain sounds.
Reading this book I understood more things about misophonia and now I will need to apply those techniques. Hopefully, they will work. I know some with let's say severe misophonia so I will recommend this book to them maybe it will help them.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this. I suffer from misophonia and it is wonderful to see the condition being acknowledged and explained to people who don't understand - or just think I am moaning! I think the book will be a great help in helping people understand and deal with the condition and it is a book to be dipped into rather than read from cover to cover. However, I found it hard to read because the scenarios described actually triggered me. I could identify with so much of this book.
Useful and clear guidance for people suffering with misophonia. Step by step process that was clear to understand. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the amount of anecdotes, this could of been reduced to just specific examples for the exercises.
This book gives examples of people who have the condition Misophonia.
There are personal statements from people who struggle to cope with this condition and gives examples of coping strategies.
This is a book to help with aspects of the condition and will be useful to refer to when required.
Thank you to NetGalley and for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
