This class is helpful for young adults with misophonia. A general explanation of the science and misophonia will be provided at the beginning, as well as a primer on which clinicians can help misophonia and how. After this initial introduction to misophonia and the neurosystem, the Regulate, Reason, Reassure coping skills will be introduced. RRR was developed by Dr. Jennifer Jo Brout in response to her own, and her daughter’s misophonia. This is not a treatment, but it is a coping skills approach that can help misophonics learn to manage and regulate their misophonia.
