Summary

Are you often infuriated by ticking clocks, noisy eating, loud breathing, or any other small sounds? Do you wish you could sometimes put the world on mute?

You might not have heard of misophonia, but if sounds can send you spiralling, you may have experienced it. In fact, it’s thought that one in five of us have it. Sounds Like Misophonia is the first dedicated guide to help you make sense of the condition and design a treatment plan that works for you.

Using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), clinical psychologist Dr Jane Gregory takes you through step-by-step exercises to change your relationship with sounds and streamline your coping strategies. Alongside you on your journey is podcaster and misophone Adeel Ahmad, who carries out experiments and shares case studies from volunteers around the world.

With humour and understanding, Sounds Like Misophonia offers practical ways to navigate this noisy world and live a fulfilling life, instead of fighting against it.

This audio edition was produced with particular care to avoid any noise triggers for listeners with misophonia and sound sensitivity.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not effective as an audiobook

As a misophonia sufferer since early teens I was hoping for a solution, but don't expect this - some possible coping strategies are suggested, but no miracle cure. I don't think this really works as an audiobook - I think I would prefer to have the physical book to refer back to for the exercises suggested, and the book also suggests places where you can turn forward or back, which is much more difficult with audio. I can't see myself trying many of the exercises anyay (imagine getting a friend to DELIBERATELY eat loudly? No thanks!). The narration is very odd; supposedly the reader is a real person so why does she sound like an AI robot? The (already weak) puns made in the book fall even flatter with this humourless voice.

Unfortunately it just made me more depressed about my problem. On the plus side I'm very glad this is now an increasingly recognised condition and that efforts are underway to study it and improve things for people.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Not for me

Unfortunately as a sufferer this book just triggered me. I found it a bit dull as well. Would work better as written material.
