Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is a behavioral therapy found to be effective in treating children and adults with Tics/Tourettes Syndrome as well as Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling), Excoriation Disorder (compulsive skin picking), and other body-focused repetitive behavior. It combines skills of awareness training and behavior change with mindfulness to both reduce symptoms and increase urge tolerance for long term behavioral change. Habit and tic disorders can often be part of OCD and other anxiety disorders and HRT can be the primary treatment or can be combined with other therapies.
