CBIT has two primary therapeutic components. There is habit reversal training (HRT) and function-based training (FBT). Relaxation techniques are also employed in CBIT to help reduce stress, anxiety and tension which can make tics worsen.
CBIT aims to interrupt the tic cycle by having the individual acknowledge the premonitory urge and sensations and perform a competing response.
