Why do ordinary sounds like chewing, slurping, or pen-tapping trigger intense averse reactions in some people? And what does a parent do when it's her own kid screaming at her for having a case of the sniffles?
Clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas W. Phelan, author of STOP THAT CHEWING! joins Amy to explain the neurophysiological underpinnings of misophonia, why it can be so difficult for sufferers and their families, and how to stop this involuntary response from completely disrupting your family life.
Dr. Phelan and Amy discuss:
Why anxiety, OCD, ARFID, and other neurological manifestations often accompany misophonia
Why siblings and parents (especially fathers) are most likely to be triggers
The impact of misophonia on relationships, school, work, and social life
Practical ways to manage misophonia triggers and work towards sustainable solutions
