What an inspiring Tourette’s champion. I often am told that the tics are not the biggest issue, it’s the stigma, the comments from others (including adults) and need to hide the tics that causes the distress. If you need someone please be kind 😊

As parents, it’s completely natural to want to comfort your child when they’re anxious, but did you know that giving too much reassurance can actually make anxiety worse over time?

Children who depend on reassurance often struggle to build confidence in managing their own worries. The good news is, there are practical ways to break the cycle.

We’ve put together a free help sheet to help you understand why reassurance can backfire and how to support your child more effectively, using CBT-based techniques.

Feeling stuck in a loop of negative thoughts? 🌀
Sometimes, it’s not the situation that changes—it’s the way we see it.
Here are 5 simple ways to reframe your thoughts so you can turn “I can’t” into “I’ll try,” and “This is terrible” into “This is a challenge I can handle.”

Small shifts in thinking can lead to big changes in how you feel. 🌿

Feeling stuck in a thought spiral? 🧠💭
You’re not alone — anxious thoughts can feel like they’re spinning out of control. But CBT offers powerful tools to help you pause, reflect, and shift your mindset.

Here’s how to interrupt a spiral:
✅ Notice the trigger
✅ Name the thought
✅ Ask: “Is this fact or fear?”
✅ Challenge it with evidence
✅ Re-focus on the present moment

This guide can help us center ourselves, and think clearer.

Give this a try the next time you're experiencing a thought spiral! 💚

As June wraps up, take a moment to reflect.
