Misophonia
Misophonia is a disorder characterized by a strong emotional response to specific sounds. People with misophonia are often triggered by mouth and nasal noises, such as chewing, breathing, or sniffing, or by certain repetitive sounds such as tapping or clicking. These triggers can lead to feelings of anger, anxiety, or disgust. Misophonia can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, as it can lead to distress, social isolation, and can interfere with daily activities. The exact cause of misophonia is still unknown, though it may be related to an issue in the brain’s auditory processing. Treatment options are available, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, sound desensitization, and mindfulness training.

Behavioral therapy is an action-based therapy for positive behavior change. Other therapies tend to be more focused on delving into the past. In behavioral therapy, the past is still important as it often reveals where and when the unwanted behavior was learned, however it looks more so at present behavior and ways in which it can be rectified.
