s4story -- Misophonia Advocate and Clinician Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond Releasing Much-Needed Guide: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Misophonia

Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond, MA, LCT-C, a long-time advocate and founding member of The International Misophonia Foundation, will publish her new book, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Misophonia, on October 15th, 2025.

Designed as a resource for clinicians, individuals, and families, the book introduces the CBT-MISO framework: a practical, structured approach for applying cognitive and behavioral coping strategies specifically adapted for misophonia's unique sensory triggers and distress.

Despite misophonia impacting millions, practical, accessible guidance for managing the condition remains rare. Hayes-Raymond's book helps bridge this gap, drawing on her years of experience in both advocacy and clinical practice to provide a clear path forward.

"The emotional distress caused by misophonia is complex and requires specialized tools," says Hayes-Raymond. "My goal with CBT for Misophonia was to create a structured framework that both empowers therapists and gives individuals the self-help tools necessary to manage their daily lives. It's about learning to move from constant reaction to empowered coping."
