Annoying but not harmful: working with sounds in misophonia

Professionals: $60.00 CAD + tax
Students: $48.00 CAD + tax

This event will introduce the key features of misophonia and provide a simple cognitive-behavioural framework for understanding the distress and impairment associated with the phenomenon. This model will help you to consider transdiagnostic techniques that could be adapted for working with misophonia and to consider the potential limitations.

Traditional exposure approaches tend not to be suitable for most individuals with misophonia, and in fact can lead to increased distress. This even will introduce alternative ideas for working with individuals to with misophonia to engage with sounds, using an inhibitory learning approach to create new associations with sounds.
