If a dull, tight band of pressure regularly wraps itself around your head, if you notice your jaw clenching or your shoulders creeping up towards your ears without quite knowing when it started, this two-part self-hypnosis session offers a calm, practical way to help your body let go of tension at its source.
In around 28 minutes across two tracks, Sharon Shinwell first explains, simply and reassuringly, what a tension headache actually is and why your body creates one — before guiding you into a state of deep physical relaxation using a tense-and-release technique, so your body can feel, quite literally, the difference between holding on and letting go.
From there, you are introduced to a single trigger word, "Release," anchored to that same physical sensation, so that your body has a fast, reliable way of returning to ease whenever you need it.
This is not about ignoring or pushing through the tension. It is about giving your body a clearer, more automatic way of doing something it already knows how to do — because holding on to stress in the jaw, neck, and shoulders was never meant to be permanent, and a session that works directly with that pattern is one of the simplest and most accessible ways to support lasting relief.

Track One is a short, awake introduction explaining what's happening in your body when a tension headache builds, and when it's worth checking in with a doctor.
Track Two then guides you through a tense-and-release relaxation, a safe-place visualisation, and a gentle reframing of the stress response, before introducing your trigger word and closing with a gradual return to full alertness, leaving you feeling calm, loose, and clear rather than groggy or flat.
