🧠 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗡𝗢 𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗔 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗… 😂

You:

“Why does this sound bother me so much?”

🧠 Brain:

“No idea.”

“But you KNOW it does.”

“Correct.”

“Can you tell me why?”

“No.”

“Can you stop reacting to it?”

“No.”

“Can you at least explain what’s happening?”

“…also no.”

😂

One of the frustrating things about Misophonia is that the reaction can feel incredibly specific, while the reason behind it isn't always obvious.

Researchers are still working to understand exactly why particular sounds can trigger such strong responses in some people.

So if you've ever sat there thinking:

𝗪𝗛𝗬 does this sound affect me like this?!

Your brain might genuinely have no useful answer.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 HASN’T EVEN HAPPENED YET.

So why has your brain already reacted?

You’re sitting there.

Someone reaches for a packet.

You hear the packaging move.

Maybe the packet hasn’t even opened yet.

But something inside you has already gone:

“Oh no…”

That can feel bizarre.

Because technically, there wasn't a trigger sound yet.

But your brain doesn't necessarily have to wait for the complete sound before it starts making predictions about what is coming next.

And this is where things get really interesting.

Your brain is constantly using information from the world around you to anticipate what is likely to happen next.

A movement.

A familiar sequence.

A particular object.

A sound beginning in a familiar way.

All of these can provide information about what might come next.

Recent research into misophonia is beginning to look more closely at how individual acoustic features of sounds relate to discomfort, with researchers finding that different people can have very different sound features that drive their responses.

So perhaps sometimes the experience isn't simply:

SOUND → REACTION

There may be much more happening in between.

The brain is constantly interpreting incoming information and making sense of what it expects to happen next.

And that raises a fascinating question:

Could changing what the brain predicts change what happens when the sound actually arrives?

That's an area of misophonia research and understanding that I find particularly interesting.

Because sometimes the most interesting part of a trigger isn't just the sound itself.

It may be what the brain has already decided that sound means — before you've even heard the whole thing.

And that's worth thinking about.

👂 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺… 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁?

One of the strangest things about Misophonia is how a particular sound can seem to become impossible to ignore.

It might be the crumpling of a plastic bag.

The hum of a swimming pool pump.

Birds singing outside.

A ticking clock.

A washing machine.

A particular keyboard key.

Or even something as tiny as a pen clicking.

And somehow, amongst all the other sounds happening around you, your brain finds that one.

It can feel as though the sound has suddenly been turned up.

But here's the interesting part…

The sound itself hasn't necessarily become louder.

Your brain may have become highly tuned to detecting it.

Once something has become important to the brain, attention can be drawn towards it incredibly quickly.

And that creates a frustrating paradox:

The harder you try NOT to hear it, the more you seem to notice it.

You can be watching television.

Having a conversation.

Trying to concentrate on something completely different.

And then…

there it is.

That tiny sound.

Instantly detected.

Instantly noticed.

And once you've noticed it, it's incredibly difficult to put it back into the background.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮.

It isn't necessarily that you're hearing more.

Your brain may simply have become exceptionally good at finding that particular sound. 🧠

And sometimes, that particular sound is one nobody else would ever think twice about.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀…

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲… 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿?

Think about chewing.

Swallowing.

Sniffing.

Breathing.

Tapping.

For many people with Misophonia, some of these sounds can be relatively unproblematic when they make them themselves.

Then someone else makes the sound…

…and suddenly it feels completely different.

But here's where it gets really interesting.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Some people are triggered by their own swallowing.

Some are triggered by their own breathing.

Some react to sounds they produce themselves.

And some don't. Or some are sometimes...not all the time?

So we can't simply say:

“Your brain doesn't react to sounds you make yourself.”

Because that's not everyone's experience.

But for the people who notice this difference…

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻?

When we produce a movement ourselves, our brain isn't just receiving the resulting sound.

It has information about the movement that is about to happen.

It knows, to some degree:

“I'm about to move.”

“I'm about to swallow.”

“I'm about to make that sound.”

That prediction may influence how the resulting sensory information is experienced.

So perhaps the brain isn't simply asking:

“What sound did I just hear?”

It may also be processing:

“Where did that come from?”

“Did I produce it?”

“Was it expected?”

“What was happening around it?”

And that could help explain why the exact same type of sound doesn't necessarily produce the exact same response every time.

Not because Misophonia is imaginary.

Not because someone is choosing their reaction.

But because the brain doesn't process sound in isolation.

And maybe that's the bit that's worth thinking about…

🚨 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘’𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗔 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨…

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗘 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱.

Think about this…

Someone makes a trigger sound.

💥 Your reaction hits.

Then…

Silence.

The sound has stopped.

But your brain goes:

“Is it going to happen again?”

And suddenly…

👂 You’re listening.

You’re watching.

You’re checking.

You’re waiting.

You hear them move.

You hear their breathing.

You hear a tiny noise from across the room.

And your brain is already asking:

“Was that it?”

This can create a really interesting loop:

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 → 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀 → 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 → 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴.

And here's the really important bit…

𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼.

Your brain is trying to protect you.

But the more it learns:

“I need to watch out for that sound.”

…the more important that sound can become.

So sometimes, the work isn't simply about what happens when the trigger occurs.

It can also be about what happens 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀.

That constant…

“Is it coming?”

“Is it going to happen again?”

“I need to be ready.”

Because if your brain is constantly standing guard…

𝗜𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻.

And THAT is a really important piece of the Misophonia puzzle. 🧩

🚨 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱.

With Misophonia, you can become incredibly precise at detecting certain sounds.

Not just “someone is eating.”

But the tiny details within it.

The rhythm.

The pauses.

The change in volume.

The particular way the sound begins.

The tiny variations that most people would never consciously notice.

Your attention can become extraordinarily tuned to a very specific type of auditory information.

And that's one reason a trigger can feel so 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖.

It isn't necessarily every chewing sound.

It might be one person's chewing.

One particular type of breathing.

One specific clicking pattern.

One person's sniff.

One tiny repetitive noise.

Your brain isn't simply registering 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱.

It's identifying a very particular 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 within that sound.

And once you understand that distinction, Misophonia starts to become a much more interesting neurological puzzle.

Because the question becomes:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴?

That's where things get really interesting.

The MisoGo Programme is the Misophonia programme I created to help people improve their relationship with Misophonia and Misokinesia.

As I am based in the UK and often work across timezones and needed to support a younger audience too....I launched the MisoGo Online Programme.

This client has been doing the MisoGo Programme Self-Study and has observed that she was able to remain in the same room as her Brother was present and that her body is feeling less tense- resulting in less anxiety 😍😍

"It's going great! I was sat in the kitchen whilst my brother was eating lunch today!"

"I'm definitely a lot less tense! Like I used to notice my tongue was at the top of my mouth all the time but it's stopped doing that now!"

The course is available at www.mindblocks.co.uk

With a 100% refund available up to 7 days if the programme is followed correctly and you change your decision. I believe in it that much.

Also, happy to offer a free initial consultation call to discuss the programme and requirements if you have any questions or wish to find out anything about it which isn't explained on my shiny, new website at www.mindblocks.co.uk
