Have you tried exposure therapy or behavioural therapy?

Some people with misophonia have told me (Shaylynn) that they have tried therapies for misophonia that they felt made the condition worse. With that in mind, I have decided to run a poll to see how common this is. I personally wonder if scientists and clinicians should be using certain therapies if they are not helping long-term with the disorder. For example, what if misophonia is not behavioural and not cognitive? Then, where do we go from there when people have already been exposed to therapies that frustrate them, hurt them, or scare them off potential treatments as they come?

If you are looking for misophonia coping skills, you can go here to see coaching (worldwide) and here to see therapy (Canada) options with Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond. Shaylynn also offers both live and on-demand webinars for misophonia.
