Sounds Like Misophonia: How to Stop Small Noises from Causing Extreme Reactions
Autor Dr Jane Gregory Contribuţii de Adeel Ahmaden Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2023
Observăm în ultimii ani o creștere a interesului pentru sănătatea senzorială, într-o lume din ce în ce mai zgomotoasă care ne forțează limitele de toleranță. Sounds Like Misophonia de Dr Jane Gregory abordează o problemă adesea ignorată sau neînțeleasă: furia sau anxietatea extremă declanșată de sunete banale, precum mestecatul sau ticăitul unui ceas. Considerăm că această lucrare reprezintă un punct de cotitură pentru cei care simt că mediul înconjurător le dictează starea emoțională, oferind pentru prima dată un ghid dedicat și validat științific.
Abordarea amintește de Understanding and Overcoming Misophonia de Thomas H Dozier prin recunoașterea bazei neurologice a condiției, dar adaugă o componentă practică esențială bazată pe Terapia Cognitiv-Comportamentală (CBT). Spre deosebire de alte titluri care se concentrează pe diagnostic, Dr Jane Gregory structurează conținutul într-un parcurs terapeutic coerent. Cartea este împărțită în șase secțiuni logice, începând cu înțelegerea mecanismelor de tip „luptă sau fugi” (metafora suricatelor și a zombilor) și avansând spre „experimente creative” pentru recontextualizarea sunetelor.
Experiența de lectură este una echilibrată; deși se adresează inclusiv profesioniștilor, tonul rămâne cald și presărat cu umor, facilitat de contribuțiile lui Adeel Ahmad. Structura este una progresivă: cititorul este ghidat de la auto-analiza „copilului interior” cu misofonie, până la strategii concrete de comunicare și „letting go”. Nu este doar o expunere teoretică, ci un plan de tratament personalizabil, susținut de studii de caz și exerciții menite să „pună lumea pe silențios” fără a te izola de ea.

Descriere
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 HEALTH AND WELLBEING AWARDS - BEST WELLBEING BOOK
'Empathetic, thoroughly informative and succinct ... Dr Gregory will be your friendly and helpful companion in the maelstrom of living with this complex disorder' - Cris Edwards, founder of misophonia charity SoQuiet
--
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.

Recenzii
Empathetic, thoroughly informative and succinct ... a milestone of a gift in a book. Combining the latest in fact-based information and field-tested tools for living with misophonia, this book is deeply validating and witty. Dr Gregory will be your friendly and helpful companion in the maelstrom of living with this complex disorder.
A fascinating, friendly and funny book for everyone, even people like me who don't have misophonia and didn't know it existed until devouring this work. I shall considerately spread the word!
Excellent
This book is a rare combination of clarity, accuracy, humility and usefulness. It is highly accessible and is going to be useful for anyone suffering from Misophonia, their loved ones and professionals who want to support sufferers in overcoming the difficulties associated with this previously poorly understood problem. The book manages to strike an excellent balance between offering an understanding of how the problem works and converting that understanding into practical steps. If you want or need to know more about Misophonia or how to manage it, there is no better way than to read this delightful book, which manages to convey complicated ideas with enjoyable ease.
Written in a very accessible, entertaining way, this terrific self-help book explains this challenging problem and details what to do about it. Lots of interesting real-life examples and practical strategies will guide you to figure out which techniques will work for you-and which won't. Optional passages about research are clear and understandable and you'll find the suggested exercises illuminating and helpful. I recommend this book highly!
A trailblazing first book of its kind. With feet planted firmly both in the emerging science of misophonia and the authors' own personal experiences, this is book that traverses complicated concepts and ideas with grace, compassion, and brilliant humor. This is a must read for laypeople with misophonia and their families, as well as for clinicians across disciplines.
An outstanding resource for clinicians and patients alike. Through personal stories, humour and science, described in a way that makes complete sense, the reader is navigated wonderfully through the reasons for misophonia and the ways to manage this super-guardedness for sounds.
A bible for anyone who has ever listened to their spouse chomping loudly on cereal and seriously contemplated divorce.
'... you can find relief with the coping strategies outlined in this book - the first dedicated guide to misophonia.'
