For parents of misophonic children, romantic partners, friends, and educators, some traits of misophonia might look to them as a manipulative behaviour. For those with misophonia, when we are in fight-flight-freeze and dysregulated, our brains and bodies are telling us to do anything to stop the trigger—just as I imagine one would in any scenario…

No, Misophonia is Not OCD, Stop Saying it Is

Misophonia is definitely not OCD. I say that, because I have both Misophonia and OCD, and yet some researchers are still conflating the two. I’m not entirely sure why researchers are so keen on misophonia being related with OCD. I’m not even sure why an OCD researcher would keep claiming this when the current science…
