Sequent Repatterning Therapy for Misophonia

Sequent Repatterning Therapy (SRT) is a structured therapeutic approach specifically developed to help people with misophonia.

Originally created by Chris Pearson in 2014, SRT is grounded in neuroscience and combines elements from several approaches, including (but not limited to) clinical hypnotherapy, parts therapy, and Coherence Therapy.

It’s based on the understanding that misophonia is not simply about disliking sounds, movements, or other sensory input, but is instead an automatic, learned brain response linked to emotional memory and the limbic system

Memory reconsolidation is the brain’s natural process of updating old emotional learnings, allowing unhelpful reactions to be rewritten and replaced with healthier responses.

This process underpins lasting change in therapies for trauma, misophonia, and other conditions where outdated emotional responses continue to be triggered. Importantly, even if you cannot consciously recall the original memories that contributed to the misophonia, SRT can still work effectively by engaging this reconsolidation process.

The methods applied in SRT aim to create lasting, transformational change for clients.

What to Expect

• Sessions are one-to-one, 60- 90 minutes in duration and usually take place online.
• The SRT Active Therapy framework typically runs over ten meetings, ideally scheduled weekly.

Results of Sequent Repatterning Therapy

Findings from more than 4,000 clients who have completed the SRT Active Therapy Phase show:

• Around 80% (8 out of 10 clients) experience a significant reduction in symptoms.
• Within that group, the average improvement is around 70%. This includes some clients who achieve near-complete remission, while others reach about halfway to full improvement and often benefit further from additional therapy or self-guided practices.

Many clients report meaningful changes, including reduced emotional reactivity, greater control in triggering situations, and an increased sense of freedom in everyday life.

While you can read my client testimonials on this website, as SRT practitioners we do not actively seek reviews or advertise. Instead, we rely on clear ethical statements of fact and regular statistical review of what we do, how we do it, and the benefits experienced by those living with misophonia.
