Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
This event will introduce the key features of misophonia and provide a simple cognitive-behavioural framework for understanding the distress and impairment associated with the phenomenon. This model will help you to consider transdiagnostic techniques that could be adapted for working with misophonia and to consider the potential limitations.
The event will be equivalent to 1.1/2hrs of CPD.
Content
Traditional exposure approaches tend not to be suitable for most individuals with misophonia, and in fact can lead to increased distress. This even will introduce alternative ideas for working with individuals to with misophonia to engage with sounds, using an inhibitory learning approach to create new associations with sounds.
Learning Objectives
• Build a simple cognitive-behavioural formulation (case conceptualisation) of misophonia
• Adapt existing CBT tools to related mechanisms in misophonia
• Put the principles of inhibitory learning into practice with misophonic sounds and work with the client to design experiments that find novel ways of engaging with sounds
Training Modalities
Didactic content, Polls & Experiental demonstration

About the presenter
Dr Jane Gregory is a clinical psychologist at the University of Oxford, researching cognitive and behavioural mechanisms of misophonia. She sees clients with misophonia and provides specialist misophonia supervision at a national psychology service in Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. She is co-author of the S-Five, a multidimensional questionnaire measuring symptoms of misophonia, which has been translated into multiple languages and is being used for misophonia research around the world. She created two new scales for capturing misophonic behaviours and feared consequences and is researching the longitudinal relationships between misophonia symptoms and behaviours. She is the author of a self-help book, Sounds Like Misophonia: how to stop small noises causing extreme reactions.
Who should attend
This event is an introductory session, suitable for mental health professionals with no previous experience with misophonia.
Low Intensity clinical contact hours survey - BABCP Low Intensity Special Interest Group
Please click below if you are interested in contributing to the survey.
The BACP Low Intensity SIG are interested in the impact of clinical contact hours on Low Intensity/Wellbeing Practitioner wellbeing. This questionnaire contains six multi-choice questions and a free text box for you to share your experiences. The answers to these questions will help the BABCP SIG plan how to meet CPD topics and other developments within the SIG. The SIG hope to produce a write up of the answers to this questionnaire to be shared with SIG members and to be used in training.
This FREE conference is for Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners working in Talking Therapies for Anxiety and Depression services and is brought to you by Bespoke Mental Health in collaboration with the NHS National PWP Leads Network.
