This is a self-help hypnotherapy recording for older children, teenagers and adults who suffer from either vocal or motor tics. It is designed to help you: - Relax comfortably and deeply - Engage the power of mind & body - Reprogram your unwanted movements or sounds through mental visualisation - Help maintain relaxed control - Express tension privately at appropriate times - Build confidence and self esteem Gentle and relaxing, it helps them release a build-up of tension and feel calmer and may help the listener feel more in control of sounds and movements. Tics vary in severity; transient tics in young people very often disappear quickly and easily with use of the recording, while long standing- chronic tics may take longer or, in some cases, not respond to the approach. Even in these cases however there is usually an improvement in feelings of a calm and relaxed mind set. Research shows that when a person first acts out each positive step in their imagination, it dramatically increases the likelihood of their success in the real world. This recording contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence and self-esteem. The language and topics used are carefully crafted to appeal to listeners of all suitable ages.
