Dnryan Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 does anyone have any experience with this? thinking of trying it with my son, but his tics are rather mild and not sure if it's necessary, or helpful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlygirl Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Is this the same thing as "habit reversal training"? I've thought about it as a possibility for the future (I think my 4-year-old would be too young to do it right now & his tics are really mild at the moment anyway). But then I wonder if it's really a good thing to do or not, since the advice is normally to ignore/accept the tics, but this therapy aims to teach them how to stop tics, so it feels like a mixed message in a way. I'd imagine it could be helpful for someone who has a specific tic they want to learn to stop or redirect or maybe for an older person who wanted to try the therapy instead of or in conjunction with a medication. But for a kid, I don't know if I'd do it unless the child really wanted to. Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
