Could this be you-- or someone you know?
Do certain everyday sounds trigger an intense emotional reaction in you or someone you care about? Chewing, breathing, tapping, or sniffling, for example?
For some people, almost any sound can become a trigger.
Do these or other sounds cause a sudden, strong negative reaction—such as anger, anxiety, or an urgent need to escape?
