Today marks the start of Carers Week — and we are thinking about the thousands of people living with Tourette syndrome: the involuntary tics, the misunderstandings, the stigma, and the emotional weight carried not just by individuals, but by everyone who cares alongside them.
Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition, not a behavioural choice. It affects an estimated one in one hundred school-aged children, yet it remains widely misrepresented and misunderstood. Behind every misconception is a person who simply deserves to be seen accurately.
At London Trusted Therapy, we work with neurodivergent individuals and their families — including those navigating the psychological complexity of living with a condition the world so often gets wrong. Therapy cannot change the tics. But it can change the relationship a person has with themselves, with their experiences, and with those who care for them.
If this resonates — for yourself or someone you love — we are here. Link in bio.
