Targeting early maladaptive schemas for Misophonia intervention

in a 2026 study of 72 Misophonics and 72 controls, Fazi et al found a predictive role of early maladaptive schemas in predicting Misophonia variation, with entitlement and emotional inhibition arising as the most relevant predictors. Based on these findings the authors propose that interventions such as schema therapy or metacognitive interpersonal therapy may be possible interventions for Misophonia, with Entitlement work targeting rigid expectations of others' behavior and Emotional Inhibition work aiming to enhance emotional awareness, expression, and regulation (Fazi et al., 2026).
