Misophonia is a disorder causing intense reactions to specific sounds, disrupting daily life. Current treatments lack evidence-based support. The goal of this study is to explore the effectiveness of cognitive reappraisal (CR) in reducing misophonic responses. The study involves 100 participants assigned to either a 4-week CR program or Autogenic Training. Emotional regulation, symptoms of anxiety and depression, quality of life, and more will be assessed using various questionnaire-based measures; perseverations with a task-based test (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test); the presence of psychiatric and personality disorders using face-to-face interviews (The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) and "Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5® Personality Disorders" (SCID-5-PD)
