Misophonia Coping Toolkit (ACT-Informed Sensory Trigger Support Sheet)

This printable coping toolkit provides clients with practical, in-the-moment strategies for managing misophonia and sensory-triggered distress. Designed with an ACT-informed approach, the resource combines body awareness, cognitive defusion, and simple regulation tools to help clients respond to triggering sounds with greater flexibility and self-support.

The sheet guides clients to:

• Notice physical sensations and emotional responses to triggers

• Identify the thoughts that escalate distress

• Use defusion language to create psychological space

• Apply grounding and regulation tools such as breathing strategies, muscle release, environmental adjustments, and sensory supports

This resource is ideal for clients who experience strong sensory reactions to sound and need a clear, portable coping reference for daily use.

Perfect for:

• Neurodivergent clients (autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivity)

• Anxiety or sensory-triggered distress

• School settings, therapy offices, or home coping plans

• ACT-informed or trauma-sensitive treatment approaches

• Teens, adults, or caregivers supporting sensory needs
