Managed Tics, a Better Life
Whether you (or your child) have had tics for years or have been recently diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, you know that having tics can be debilitating, embarrassing, and painful. They stop you from being your authentic self in social, school, and work situations.
But did you also know that you can significantly reduce your tics by following ten simple and actionable steps? Combining components of research-backed traditional therapies (such as Comprehensive Behavioral Interventions for Tics) with other tools that connect body and mind for self-regulation, you can achieve more progress in managing your tics than ever before.
In Breaking the TIC Cycle, you'll learn: how to use sensory inputs and insights to reduce tic triggers
what to do (and not to do) during a "tic attack"
how to improve your autonomic nervous system regulation to increase your inner resilience to stress and anxiety
No matter how long your tics have been around, this book can help you gain mastery over your tics and clarity about your next steps.
