5. Learning Differences Between Obsession and Rationality
There are plenty of stresses that we get subjected to every day, and to someone with a stress condition, fear or phobia such as misophonia this can quickly balloon into something that controls nearly every aspect of their lives. It’s vital to learn adequate coping mechanisms to deal with real stress and to learn how to spot imagined or overblown ones in your daily life in order to cope with the condition as a whole.
An experienced therapist can often be helpful when it comes to recognizing the difference between real fears and imagined ones, and once you learn how to spot this and “come down” from the hype that causes a panic attack, the condition can seem a whole lot less terrifying at the moment.
This is something that can be taught over time, but usually gradually and with expert guidance to ensure the treatment is as effective as possible.
