A 12-year-old girl with Tourette's syndrome would like to try the Tomatis method. Her tics mostly occur during stress, but lately, they have become much more frequent. She has developed phobias and fears and suffers from severe anxiety. Currently, she sleeps with her mother because she wakes up scared at night. Encounters with new people are terrifying for her. After consulting with a psychotherapist, she was advised to undergo treatment for anxiety.

Her movement and coordination are excellent, and she generally enjoys movement techniques, sometimes even too much—it is very difficult for her to calm down and focus.

What would be the best way to approach the process? Perhaps we could start with the BC kit and then continue with the headphones?
