“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
~ Maya Angelou
Living with Tics can be Overwhelming, We Get It
Tics can feel like a daily battle—frustrating, exhausting, and out of your control. Whether it’s a sudden movement or sound, the fear of others noticing can make school, work, and social situations stressful. You might feel like your tics are running your life.
But here’s the good news: you can take back control— even without medication. Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) is a proven, effective way to manage tics so they don’t manage you.
How CBIT Helps YOU Take Back Control
CBIT isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about giving you the skills to reduce tic severity and regain confidence. It’s like learning a new life hack: with practice, you train your brain to respond differently.
With CBIT, you’ll learn how to:
🟣 Understand your tics – No more guessing. Learn why they happen and what makes them better or worse.
🟣 Recognize tic urges – That “itchy” feeling before a tic? You’ll learn to catch it before it happens.
🟣 Replace tics with something less noticeable – Swap out disruptive movements for subtle, controlled actions.
🟣 Modify your environment – Identify stressors that trigger tics and create a plan for success.
No Medication, No Side Effects – Just Real Results
CBIT doesn’t erase tics, but it helps you tic less and feel more in control. With practice, you’ll notice fewer interruptions and more freedom to focus on what matters—without relying on medication.
