Telling people about your tics can be hard especially during the busyness of the holiday season. Self-disclosure zones are a good tool for understanding who you want to share personal things with. We like to encourage people to think about their self-disclosure zones so they can control how and when they talk about their tics! 🤗

Do you agree with Sarah?🧐

We use this mock MRI that looks and sounds similar to a real one to help participants get used to the experience before trying it for real! It tends to help participants feel more confident and calm when doing an MRI!
