That red blur over there is molten lava… don’t fall into it. The problem with this setup is that it doesn’t always work in our favour all of the time, in every scenario.ĭifferent brains have different ways of perceiving, processing, categorising and regulating different sounds, sights, smells and textures. That lump over there is a tree… don’t walk into it. The brain does this by learning and categorising complex information. It stops us from falling over all the time, it helps us find food, it helps us find a mate and so on. The sights, sounds, smells and textures that our brains decode help tether us to a world (and reality) with rules and structures that we can readily navigate. This makes sense in evolutionary terms because it’s efficient. The brain has a strong preference for that which it perceives directly, ‘in the moment’… Our ears, our eyes, our noses, our sense of touch. As humans we are hard wired to trust our senses Why is it that the dialogue around misophonia seems to focus solely on sound triggers and negative emotions? There’s a reason for this and we can look to neuroscience for answers. Misophonia is about a great deal more than sound sensitivity alone.Īs you’ll see, the misophonic brain is wired differently in ways that we are only just starting to uncover.īefore we get to that, let’s start with the why. “if misophonia is so great, why can I only see the bad stuff?” Then we’re going tilt the looking glass and see if we can uncover any positive sides to misophonia… To try to make sense of all this, in this article we’re going to look at exactly why this is – i.e. These negative thoughts and concepts are based on a very limited understanding of our disorder (a disorder which, remember, didn’t have a name until very recently).


They reinforce a set of relentlessly negative internal narratives: “There’s something wrong with me… there’s something wrong with other people… misophonia is bad… I’m bad… life is bad… I can’t cope with this…”īut here’s the thing. These negative loops dominate the surrounding media and research but they do something much worse than that… They effect the mindsets of the most important people in all of this, us. With no other context, it suggests that misophonia is entirely defined by negative emotions and traits and that therefore everything to do with misophonia must be bad. The problem is this narrative seems to frame much of our discussion about misophonia. The frustration, the anger, the panic, the guilt. The intense feelings that consume us when we hear a trigger sound describe just ONE part of our misophonia, the part that we directly perceive in the heat of the moment. To what extent does your misophonia make you ‘you’? When we talk about misophonia we tend to focus on sound triggers and negative emotions If your misophonia was taken away, would it leave behind a completely different, unrecognisable you? At first pass the answer for most of us would be a resounding “YES! Get rid of the misophonia at all costs”, right?īut here’s the thing. Would it feel like a great weight had been lifted? Like you could finally relax and lead a ‘normal’, happy life? Erased from your childhood… no longer a feature in your day-to-day life… and a tomorrow that would be, well, trigger-free.
