So, what is misophonia anyway?
Misophonia is a neurophysiological disorder where otherwise normal sounds cause a fight-flight-freeze reaction. Many persons with misophonia also experience misokinesia (movement) visual triggers, and other sensory-based reactions such as disliking textures, smells, and more. Whether misophonia is related to sensory integration or is distinct when it comes to these reactions needs more research. Misophonia International is a news, awareness, and coping skills site that features articles from its owner Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond, reviews of useful products for misophonia, and content that has been submitted. Misophonia International PROUDLY supports The International Misophonia Foundation, of which Shaylynn is the Director.
