Book Review: Psychedelic-assisted EMDR therapy: A memory-consolidation approach to psychedelic healing. - EMDR Therapy Quarterly

Misophonia and EMDR

Mean AMISOS-R scores decreased from 16.5 pre-treatment to 10 post-treatment, suggesting symptom improvement. Findings indicate EMDR may help adolescents with misophonia, warranting larger randomised controlled trials.
