Misophonia Therapy in Raleigh–Durham, North Carolina (Telehealth)

Specialized Virtual Treatment with PsychWell — formerly the Center for OCD and Misophonia

Living with misophonia in the Raleigh–Durham area can feel especially frustrating.

This region is full of thoughtful, analytical, high-achieving people — students, researchers, professionals, and families — who live and work closely together. When you have misophonia, that closeness can make everyday life feel unbearable. Chewing, breathing, tapping, or repetitive movements can hijack your nervous system and make it impossible to relax or focus.

Misophonia is not a quirk. It is a nervous-system condition that creates intense emotional reactions to specific sounds or visual cues. These reactions happen automatically — often followed by guilt, shame, or fear about what they mean.

PsychWell, formerly the Center for OCD and Misophonia, provides specialized virtual misophonia therapy for clients in Raleigh, Durham, and throughout North Carolina.

You don’t need to find a local specialist. You can work with one from home.

What It Feels Like to Live With Misophonia

People with misophonia often feel like they are fighting a battle no one else can see.

You might notice:

  • Sudden anger or panic when someone chews or breathes

  • An urgent need to escape

  • Tension in your body that won’t let go

  • Shame after snapping or withdrawing

  • Fear about living with others

These reactions are not chosen. They are how your nervous system responds when it feels overwhelmed and invaded.

Why Smart, Sensitive People Get Stuck

Many people with misophonia are thoughtful, conscientious, and emotionally aware. They often hold themselves to very high standards — especially about how calm and reasonable they should be.

When their body reacts anyway, it can feel humiliating.

That shame keeps the misophonia loop alive.

Why Traditional Therapy Falls Short

Misophonia is not just anxiety or irritation. It is rooted in emotional rigidity, perfectionism, and a nervous system that treats certain sensations as threats.

Most therapy doesn’t address this deeper pattern.

PsychWell was created to.

The EASE Model

At PsychWell (formerly the Center for OCD and Misophonia), we treat misophonia using EASE — External Acceptance and Self Engagement.

External Acceptance helps you stop organizing your life around trying to change the world.

Self Engagement helps you learn how to feel your emotions — anger, shame, sadness — without suppressing or judging them.

Together, these skills create the flexibility your nervous system needs to heal.
