simonzl Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Anybody tried Symptom Substitution successfully ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi I havent heard of this as an actual therapy, but my son was given some great tips by a psychiatrist on how to "disguise" embarassing tics when in company, so I guess that may be a similar thing. The most important thing with any therapy like this tho is that you shouldnt feel pressured about it. If you feel you have to let a tic out and it is causing stress or tension to substitute for it, or hold it in or whatever, then it isnt good for you overall. But, as an example, when my son went thru a bout of coprolalia, it sure was helpful to him that the doc had given him some clever substitute sounds!! Do tell us more about exactly what Symptom Substitution involves............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonzl Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 If we can't control the tic , if we can redirect the tic , it's also very helpful . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
