Starting therapy specifically for Tourettes

[danielamillsParticipant]

Hi does anyone here have experience with starting therapy specifically for Tourettes? CBD and exposure all sound a bit scary. I was told that at first it’s really difficult, but once you keep going you’ll start to see results, and it can change your life forever. All this sounds way too optiministic or unrealistic to me…
