The first meeting is planned for 30th September 2024 6:30 to 7:30 PM (UK time). Our guest speaker is Irini Laura Verbist (Research Psychologist) who will talk about “Understanding your condition and maximising your therapy experience”. In this talk, we will explore how patients with misophonia, tinnitus, and hyperacusis can better understand their conditions and maximise the benefits of therapy. We’ll discuss what these auditory disorders are, common triggers, and their impact on daily life. We’ll also cover various therapy options, such as CBT and mindfulness, and emphasize the importance of active therapy engagement to achieve the best outcomes. Additionally, we’ll discuss practical strategies for managing triggers and incorporating self-care practices to enhance resilience. This talk aims to empower people with the knowledge and tools to take control of their journey with these conditions. Are you taking CBT or planning to do so? This talk is for you!
