Life's
A Twitch! ® Publishing (ISBN 978-0-9810684-0-4)
Hey. Got tics? You’re not alone. Up to one
in five kids will have at least one tic at some
point. Including the guy who wrote this book!
Nix
Your Tics is a how-to guide book to help youth and
young people learn to manage, treat, or get rid of
bothersome tic or tick symptoms. It teaches
behavioral techniques like habit reversal training
and CBIT, fosters a positive attitude, and
provides hope.
Dr.
B. Duncan McKinlay, Psychologist (‘Dr. Dunc’)
has Tourette Syndrome. That means he’s been
living with both motor tics (movements he has a
hard time stopping) and phonic tics (noises he has
a hard time stopping) for most of his life. He
knows firsthand how annoying, embarrassing,
misunderstood, painful, and disruptive tics can
be. For years, he’s been educating people all
around the world by means of his presentations and
Website, and through appearances on television, in
magazines, and on film. Now, in “Nix Your
Tics!,” he wants to share with you a
little-known but well-established, evidence-based
practice* he uses to manage tic symptoms in both
himself and in his patients.
