Dr Jane Gregory is a clinical psychologist, misophonia researcher and author of the book Sounds Like Misophonia: How to stop small noises from causing extreme reactions.
In this truly fascinating episode, we deep dive into the topic of misophonia - why some people have a strong emotional reaction to certain sounds like people chewing and clicking pens. Jane talks all about her understanding of the topic from her research, clinical experience, and her own personal experience as someone who has misophonia.

Emily, known as @21andsensory, is an Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and Podcaster who communicates her experiences of being autistic (diagnosed November 2019, aged 25), dyslexic, and having Sensory Processing Disorder also known and referred to as SPD. She originally started blogging about her sensory experiences in 2015 when I was 21 years old (hence the name 21andsensory). Emily's aim with @21andsensory is to bring people together and raise awareness that sensory problems aren’t something children necessarily grow out of but learn to live with and adapt to for the rest of their lives.
In this episode, Emily speaks very candidly about her experiences of being an neurodivergent person, including the origins and drivers of @21andsensory, her diagnostic journey, challenges with employment and diagnosis disclosure, and some amazing projects she's worked on.
You can follow Emily on all socials through her handle @21andsensory, and check out her amazing podcast! All links can be found here: https://linktr.ee/21andsensory
