An Adult's Guide to Misophonia: Understanding and Managing Misophonia: Regulate, Reason, Reassure

by Jennifer Jo Brout

An Adult’s Guide to Regulate, Reason, Reassure is a coping skills manual for adults to help manage their misophonia. RRR was developed by Dr. Jennifer Brout through her own experiences as a clinician, a sufferer of misophonia, and the mother of an adult child who showed signs of misophonia at a young age. RRR gives adults the tools to help mediate misophonia and provides easy to follow guidelines and work sheets to ensure they have the skills to continue practicing RRR.

This book is a guide for adults with misophonia. This guide was originally written as a guide for parents to assist their children to cope with misophonia. However, I have had many requests to translate this work for adults interested in a coping skills approach. The concepts are very much the same for individuals of all ages. However, developmental and contextual differences are important to be aware of and are therefore included throughout.
The clinicians who are called upon to assess and help individuals with misophonia are vast, as we do not yet know what misophonia is. Without understanding the disorder, we certainly don’t know how to treat it. While research is underway, we are still without a validated treatment. Given this, I have developed an approach to help those with misophonia cope with the disorder based on the integration of both physiologically and cognitively based interventions, as well as psychoeducation and interdisciplinary consultation.

I hate to give this a low rating because I know there is very little research on this topic, but as a sufferer of misophonia, I have little to no takeaways from this book.

The worksheets may be helpful for someone with misophonia, but as someone who is engaging literature to understand more about this condition and to support someone who suffers from it, there wasn't really much here for me. The family section was shorter than the section about all the types of doctors and specialists (most of whom appear to know little to nothing), which was tremendously disappointing. I was hoping to get some actionable items and practice for acknowledgement and support, but it was pretty much "the trigger isn't the person, work on that separation." This does not help me...

There are also SO many typos. Dr. Brout- genuinely, if you read this review, I would be happy to edit this for you for free!

Easy to understand, not much information, I guess mainly because there isn't much information or research about the subject. Main takeaway: [none]. Author suggests handing out research papers to one's physicians in order to inform them of the condition ... ha ha ha.
