Many individuals suffer from chronic jaw clenching (TMJ) and morning headaches. While dental guards protect the teeth, they do not resolve the subconscious tension that drives the clenching during sleep. The jaw and neck muscles are primary targets for stored stress and anger scripts.
Through somatic emotional release, we guide the client to identify and release the tension locked in their jaw. By restoring a deep sense of safety to their autonomic nervous system, we quieten the sleep-state tension. The jaw muscles relax, and associated symptoms like headaches and neck pain disappear.
