CBIT is a behavioral method of treating tics consisting of three important components: (a) Training the patient to be more aware of his or her tics and the urge to tic. (b) Training patients to do competing behavior when they feel the urge to tic. (c) Making changes to day to day activities in ways that can be helpful in reducing tics.  CBIT takes the most effective concepts and blends them with strategies that aid people in learning the techniques quickly.
