Trigger Warning: Please note descriptive examples of trigger sounds are given in the first paragraph titled ‘What is Misophonia?’
After that all triggers are given the generic term of ‘trigger sound’, ‘trigger noise’ or ‘trigger’. without any description.
WHAT IS MISOPHONIA?
Misophonia is a condition characterized by strong emotional or physiological responses triggered by specific sounds. These sounds are often repetitive and commonly include chewing, swallowing, lip-smacking, sniffing, ticking or tapping sounds. People with misophonia may experience intense feelings of irritation, anger, anxiety, or disgust when exposed to these trigger sounds. Misophonia is a very real and frustrating condition for sufferers.
WHAT CAUSES MISOPHONIA?
Misophonia is believed to involve an abnormal processing of certain auditory stimuli in the brain. The issue is not the sound, but the individual’s perception of the sound.
IS THIS YOU?
Do certain sounds make you feel intensely frustrated or enraged? Do you wish you could tolerate trigger sounds without losing control? Are you constantly on edge, anticipating trigger noises? Would you like to reduce the power a trigger sound has to affect you? Are you ready to take back control over your emotional responses?
If you answered yes, this program is for you.
Why Hypnotherapy for Misophonia?
Hypnotherapy works by shifting subconscious thought patterns that shape our responses to sound.
While we can’t change the sounds in the world, through hypnotherapy we can change the way our brains interpret those sounds.
Individuals with Misophonia often experience:
Intense fixation on the problem noise
Amplified perception of those sounds
Escalating emotional responses like anger, panic, repulsion or distress
A negative outlook due to the constant irritation
Through the Minimise Misophonia Program we work together to alter subconscious thought sequences, helping you to transition from feeling constantly triggered to experiencing a more neutral, controlled reaction.
WHAT IS THE MINIMISE MISOPHONIA HYPNOTHERAPY PROGRAM?
The Minimise Misophonia Program is a four-part hypnotherapy program consisting of four sessions. In each hypnotherapy session we work together to adjust reactivity and sensitivity to minimize the misophonic response.
Each hypnosis session runs for 60 minutes, making the MMHP a relatively short treatment time.
Recordings of each session are provided for the client to keep.
Client’s Testimonies
-
`I was at a point in my life where I had lost all hope of overcoming Misophonia, as the condition had spiralled out-of-control. When I came across Andrea and had an initial conversation, I was filled with hope again - I knew I had found someone who truly understood me. After embarking on the Minimise Misophonia program I have been able to reclaim the joy in my life. Thank you, Andrea.’

`I had 4 sessions with Andrea. This was to focus on a few things, but mostly my misophonia. I had battled misophonia for years and didn't have a day that it didn't impact me. Before hypnotherapy, the over stimulation of noise and repetitive sounds really frustrated me. After each session those triggers subsided into the background, and they are now duller and insignificant. I saw improvements after each session. The recordings of each session helped cement my improvements.'

`My experience with Andrea was excellent. From the start I felt comfortable and supported. Her approach and techniques for misophonia were highly effective and she helped me feel more relaxed and confident. I am happy to recommend Andrea to anyone wanting hypnotherapy.'
Carlo (NSW)
-
`I had a life changing experience with Andrea. Since I was a little kid I suffered with Misophonia - clocks, chewing, everyday noises were driving me crazy. Within four sessions my mind started to switch off the triggers. I am finally at ease with everyday noise using the tools Andrea taught me. I cannot recommend her enough.
Josh (Vic)

`Before my sessions with Andrea, my lifelong struggle with misophonia felt like an endless battle. I had lost count of how many apartments I’d moved out of simply because I couldn’t cope with certain sounds. The four sessions I had with Andrea were truly life‑changing, helping not only with my misophonia but also other areas of my life. Thanks to the tools and strategies I gained, I don’t listen out for sounds anymore and have a renewed sense of hope and vitality moving forward. Highly recommend Andrea.'

Andrea was incredibly helpful in reducing my Misophonia. I completed 4 sessions with her and I always felt heard and comfortable during those sessions. I noticed changes within a couple of weeks.
Mi (Vic)
-
`After completing the hypnotherapy program, I found that my fixations on certain sounds had significantly decreased and the levels of frustration I experienced also subsided. Andrea taught me practical skills and techniques to better focus my listening and guided me to a place where I no longer let unimportant sounds affect me.'
Jack (Vic)
-
`This treatment has been quite ground breaking. Andrea understands misphonia and has seen progress in clients just like me - this was so encouraging. I have felt silly explaining my symptoms of the last 25 years to confused psychologists - I was becoming so bitter and despondent with misphonia, but now I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel and sweet relief. Misphonia is so triggering and hypnosis is really great at tweaking your perspective instead of trying to desensitise you through exposure treatments I've tried which just made me feel on edge. So grateful for this gentler approach and enjoying being calmer for it.'

`Not only do I appreciate the number of tools that are now at my disposal, but also the powerful messages conveyed to me that are slowly but surely helping me shift my perception of things and my reactions to them.'
