TBD : I'm not aware if hypnosis has been proven to be effective in the treatment of vocal tics from tourrette syndrome. In light of the fact that there is no cure for this condition and the fact that available pharmaceutical treatments can have unpleasant side effects, i would not object to a trial of hyponotherpay. Than have been said, one does not know if hypnotherapy will worsen the condition.

Absolutely: I don't recommend learning hypnosis via video, it is much more effective when taught in person. That being said, check out this link (one of the few not too technical papers on the subject): https://www.medpagetoday.org/neurology/generalneurology/21127?vpass=1
