Can CBT help treat Tics?

Question:

Can CBT help treat Tics?

Light On Anxiety Answer:

Habit reversal training can be quite effective for diminishing tics. The down and dirty of this is:

  1. Awareness training: help clients increase awareness of the premonitions that come before the tic
  2. Decide on a competing behavior that client can engage in for at least a minute to ride out the urge to do the tick (four example for your client who clenches her job a competing behavior might be a mouth stretch or Yawn)
  3. Repeat throughout the day

If you have a similar questions or concern, please schedule a call with Light On Anxiety to explore effective treatment for your anxiety or related conditions.

Success Stories

Thank you so much for your awesome support with our son that has helped our family on every level! You definitely guide us to get unstuck and be more effective!
Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me. My self-esteem and overall comfort in life are beyond what I thought was possible. I started out at rock bottom when we started, but now I think I’ve got what it takes to keep living life more fully.
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how thankful I am for you and for connecting me with my Light On Anxiety therapist. We have met for a few sessions and she has been beyond helpful. I really love how she listens and has resources and action plans to help me work through my anxiety. She has been a tremendous help.
You have a wonderful gift and help a lot of people who really need it! I was very much in major distress before we met but now feel pretty much almost back to normal. I learned a lot from our sessions.
