Dr Jane Gregory is a clinical psychologist and researcher
based at the University of Oxford. She is a leading expert in
evidence-based strategies adapted specifically for misophonia and
set up two of the first misophonia clinics within NHS psychology
services. As a misophonia sufferer herself, she has been glaring at
noisy pigeons since she was 8 years old.
Adeel Ahmad is the host of the popular Misophonia Podcast,
the only podcast about people that don't like listening to other
people. Adeel is based in the US and has lived with misophonia
since high school.
For those who don’t necessarily need therapy but would benefit from
the information.

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!

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.
*Professor Paul Salkovskis, University of Oxford and Oxford Health
NHS Foundation Trust*
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!

of Pennsylvania President, Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior
Therapy.*
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.
*M. Zachary Rosenthal, Ph.D. Director, Center for Misophonia &
Emotion Regulation, Duke University*
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.
*Michelle G. Craske, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology,
UCLA*
A bible for anyone who has ever listened to their spouse chomping
loudly on cereal and seriously contemplated divorce.
*The Mail on Sunday*
'... you can find relief with the coping strategies outlined in
this book - the first dedicated guide to misophonia.'
