Reframing Misophonia: A Cognitive Shift
Briefly

Misophonia is characterized by intense emotional reactions to certain sounds, causing distress in daily life. Though initial responses are often unavoidable, reframing offers a way to change one's relationship with these triggers. This cognitive technique, rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy, helps individuals interpret negative thoughts, reducing emotional suffering and fostering self-compassion. By separating the sound from the perceived intent behind it, individuals can regain emotional control and navigate their experiences with greater compassion towards themselves and others affected by misophonia.
Reframing helps separate the misophonia trigger from the belief that it's done with intent.
Emotional relief comes from shifting thoughts-not denying the reality of misophonia.
Reframing reduces blame and opens space for compassion toward yourself and others.
Practice reframing by rewriting negative thoughts to lessen their emotional weight.
