Tics And Stress: What Fuels Tourette’s
🎙️ Tics And Stress: What Fuels Tourette’s
Why do tics become stronger during stressful periods? Why do they sometimes seem to explode when the day is finally over?
In this episode of Tourette and Me, we explore the complex relationship between stress, anxiety, and Tourette Syndrome. You’ll discover how the nervous system reacts under pressure, why suppressing tics often backfires, and how emotional and physical stress can fuel tic activity.
We also discuss the anxiety–tic feedback loop, common situations where tics tend to flare up, and practical strategies that may help reduce nervous system overload.
Tourette’s is not caused by stress, but stress can make it harder to manage. Understanding this connection is an important step toward greater self-awareness and acceptance.
Listen now and learn why sometimes the best way to manage a tic is not to fight it.
