Stuck at Home With Misophonia?
Some tips for coping.
Posted April 16, 2020 | Reviewed by Jessica Schrader
While most of the United States (and overseas) is sheltered in place, we face many new challenges. For those with misophonia , there are specific issues that are likely arising. The purpose of this post is to provide some tips for anyone who is suffering. Recently, along with Misophonia International, I did a free workshop in which I asked people to write in questions on this subject. I will provide a link for those of you who would like to view it at the end of this post.
If I had to pick one theme that emerged from the workshop, it would be "all bets are off." In other words, due to this unprecedented experience, now is the time to avoid triggers . Now is the time to be patient with the person or person(s) with misophonia in your house. If you have misophonia, now is the time to remember that the others in your household are also on edge!
Being Patient with the Person in your Home with Misophonia
Being Patient With Your Family and Loved Ones If You Have Misophonia
I hope these tips are helpful, and if you would like to view a free video on this subject, see Coping With Misophonia During the Pandemic .
