Tight Jaw? That’s Not Just Stress—It’s a Trauma Response. Try This Somatic Reset 💆🏽♀️👄
If your jaw feels like it’s made of concrete… you’re not alone.
So many of us—especially high-achieving women—hold unspoken pain in our jaw.
All the times you wanted to scream but stayed silent.
All the “I’m fine”s when you were breaking inside.
All the tension of performing, pleasing, or just surviving.
The jaw is one of the body’s most common storage sites for unprocessed trauma.
And that tightness? It’s not random—it’s your body bracing for impact.
Try this somatic release tool:
✨ Slowly move your jaw from side to side.
✨ Let it feel exaggerated and weird.
✨ Add sound if it wants to come.
✨ Notice what shifts in your face, throat, even your chest.
It’s simple, but profound. Because every time you let go, your body learns it's safe to soften.
You don’t need to carry tension that isn’t yours anymore. You are allowed to speak, sigh, sing, scream. You are allowed to be free.
Inside my course From Wounds to Wisdom, we explore trauma-informed tools like this to help you regulate, reparent, and reconnect to your body—without shame or overwhelm.
