Most adults with Tourette Syndrome (TS) end up carrying a substantial burden because of social stigma, internalization of that social stigma, and constant efforts to conceal or minimize their differences. Children with TS often begin suppressing their behaviors before they are even fully aware of their tics because of the responses from those around them. This behavior carries into adulthood and leads to many adults seeking help for related and emergent concerns such as anxiety and depression. Learning to understand TS as a form of neurodiversity rather than a disorder can help facilitate self-acceptance, reduce internalized stigma and distress, improve mental health, and increase engagement in personally meaningful life activities. This workshop will discuss and aim to normalize many of the earlier life experiences and adulthood challenges participants may have experienced, teach them how to practice recognizing and mindfully accepting their experiences as “just experiences,” and empower them to choose the ways they wish to respond to those experiences. It will additionally discuss the importance of learning how to set and maintain boundaries in interactions with others, such as when to explain or disclose tics.
