Facial Tic Treatment – How To Abolish Tics Using Hypnosis CD's

Facial tics are repetitive, brief, sporadic spasms of the muscles of the face. They can be very different, but the most usual ones are eye blinking, facial grimacing, mouth twitches, nose wrinkling, squinting along with throat clearing and grunting. Such tics are often symptomatic of nervous conditions like Tourette syndrome. They most often happen during childhood and often disappear within a few weeks, even though some may last much longer.

The causes of facial tics are still not fully understood, but a few things are thought to trigger or worsen the symptoms. Tics may be caused by some nutritional deficiencies like a magnesium insufficiency, but they may also very often be symptoms of other disorders such as Tourette syndrome, whose causes are most likely neurological, and, to a certain degree, genetically inherited. Anxiety and stress have also been shown to provoke and significantly increase the frequency of facial tics.

Facial tics are difficult to live with especially for children. Teachers, schoolmates and even sometimes parents, may not understand how difficult it is to try to hold back the tics, especially for a long time period such as for instance a class. People will most often tell the child to "quit it", or may even mock him or her for having tics.

From facial grimaces to eye blinking, tics almost always feel embarrassing and inappropriate for both adults and children. It is also toilsome when one must try to control them constantly. This obsession may make you overly self-critical and you may thus start to lose confidence in yourself or to develop some kind of social anxiety.

It is although possible to get rid of this uneasiness and to avoid other people's uncomfortable looks. There are ways to significantly diminish, and sometimes completely cure, facial ticks, in order to find your peace of mind and enjoy a fully regular life. You may never have to worry again about facial grimaces or holding back any of these irritating twitches.

Facial tics are rarely treated or, in some severe cases or when the tics are shown to be caused by Tourette syndrome, patients might be given antipsychotics which are also prescribed to treat disorders like schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder or obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Those drugs were not developed to cure facial tics specifically and may not always be efficient.

Moreover, they are known to have several adverse effects both on the short and long term. Insomnia, depression, weight gain, sexual dysfunction and anxiety are only a few of the many adverse effects which can be caused by those drugs. Some of them can even worsen tics over time! But there are however other ways of treating facial tics that are fully natural and free of adverse effects.

Methods that work with hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) have been developed specifically in order to treat facial tics. They will help you reduce them over time. In order to understand how these methods work it is useful to remember that tics are not a purely physiological disease and are not completely involuntary either. They are an answer to an unconscious urge to do the movement of the tic. This urge unpleasantly builds up as you try to hold back from performing the movement. These impulses also increase in frequency and intensity alike if the patient is stressed or anxious or if he is placed in certain situations.

Facial tics are a way to relieve pressure when you are feeling anxiety or are placed in stressful conditions. This unconscious association could be cured using NLP and hypnosis because they are able to change the type of behavior your unconscious provokes when facing certain situations. In severe cases, the therapist will eliminate the facial tic by suggesting the unconscious have you move your toe instead. When you twitch your toe it is not visible or apparent to other people. Hypnosis also allows you to become a lot more relaxed in general, so it is a stress relieving experience. It will help you get rid of both the anxiety and stress that aggravate facial tics.

Facial tics come in a lot of different forms: nose wrinkling, eye blinking, squinting, mouth twitches, facial grimacing, grunting or throat clearing. Even though tics have physiological causes, there are also as we have seen, very strong emotional factors. Anxiety and stress are doubtlessly the most important of those factors. Tics have their roots in the unconscious mind as an answer to states of anxiety and stress; using self-hypnosis and NLP you will be able to alter this association. Anxiety and stress may also be efficiently fought in the long run with the stress relieving and relaxing techniques of hypnotherapy, which will significantly diminish the occurrence of facial tics.
