Gentle Exercises
CBT and ACT-inspired practices designed for tinnitus distress. Pick what your night needs.
Relaxation
3 min
Box Breathing
When the ringing feels loud, our breath usually shortens. This pattern gently calms the nervous system.
Sleep
4 min
Long Exhale for Sleep
A longer exhale signals safety to your body. Use this when you can't fall asleep.
Attention
5 min
Attention Shifting
Tinnitus pulls attention like a magnet. We're going to gently practice moving it elsewhere.
Tinnitus Anxiety
Soften the Story
Often the sound itself is less painful than the meaning our mind gives it ("this will never stop", "I'll never sleep"). Let's gently look at the story.
6 min
Bedtime Body Scan
Drop attention slowly through your body. Wherever it goes, the noise loses a little grip.
Leaves on a Stream
An ACT classic. We watch our worries float by without arguing with them.
