Plain, kind resources for noisy-feeling days
Hello, I'm Adam Bucklow.
I've spent years working with people who find certain everyday sounds very hard to be around. Chewing, tapping, sniffing, a pen clicking. If that is you, or your child, you'll know how confusing it can be for everyone in the room.
What I kept hearing from parents was: "I don't know how to explain this to them, or to school." So I made the things I wished families had. A story that gives children a gentle way to picture what is happening. Cards they can hold. A letter a teacher can read in two minutes. And for adults, a workbook to make sense of it all.
In my books I call the reaction a "dragon": a protective, slightly over-keen guardian that is trying to keep you safe, and it can be understood. That's the idea behind Understanding My Dragon.
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and the founder of The MisoGo Misophonia Support Programme, available at www.mindblocks.co.uk. The products in this shop are educational and supportive resources, not a diagnosis or a substitute for professional care.
Everything here is a PDF you can download straight away and print at home or school. I hope it makes a hard conversation a little easier.
Adam
