The head is where the brain is, and the brain controls all conscious and unconscious functions. So when there's some external, intangible assault on the brain, cranium or ears, it's only natural to seek to protect the head. this is the resulting trope. If a mind control power is used, or a vicious psychic assault is going down, the character(s) attempting to resist it will clutch their heads, usually in pain. If a sonic assault has been unleashed, the victims will clutch their heads to protect their ears. Variations on the head-clutch include huddling into a ball on the floor, falling to the knees, or doubling over as if attempting to shake off the intruding influence. This pose, often seen in tandem with The Scream, can also be encountered in situations where a powered character is reaching the upper limit of their concentration and ability; which makes this trope a relative of the Pstandard Psychic Pstance. It is also closely related to Psychic Nosebleed, another way of suggesting strain or damage to the head/brain. In extreme cases, it is followed by Your Head A-Splode. As mind manipulation technology has not yet been perfected, we cannot ascertain whether or not the psychic variant is Truth in Television. The sonic version is, though. This gesture is also a common response to psychological stress in general. Examples |

A mundane version occurs in The Simpsons when Homer tries to play off a problem with a Sarcastic Confession (totally explained, but maintaining the same tone so his wife is sorry she asked), and when Lisa says he can't keep this up, sarcastically goes on about the idea that it's really so serious or the idea that he can't even stop until he exaggeratedly holds his head while declaring, "I have serious mental problems!..." | |

The first villain in X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Requiem for a Rogue is confronted by a more powerful villain, who uses his blaster to burn off his own hand, telekinetically uses it to choke the first guy, then makes the first guy's head explode. There's a Gory Discretion Shot, and the first bad guy's silhouette is seen clutching its head before exploding. | |

Naruto: Gaara did this quite a few times during the chuunin exams because the One-Tailed Demon inside him was rearing its ugly head from the sight of all the fighting and blood being spilled. Another trigger for his extreme mental anguish was anyone acting in resemblance to his late uncle Yashamaru, or anyone who stepped in to protect his opponent; such selflessness—risking your life to protect another, clearly weaker person— makes his consciousness tear at its seams, for he never had anyone to love him or protect him or even play with him when he was a child, save for his uncle. |

Both Ringo and John in With Strings Attached employ this trope. Ringo uses it when he uses his mindsight for the first time, and the power nearly makes his brain explode. He also uses it several times in the Hunter's world when he is caught in a sudden psychic scream. John also uses it in the Hunter's world on the occasions when the shrieking Blackfire is drawn. The last time this happens, his ears start to bleed. |

In Chrono Crusade: Joshua often clutches his head and screams when the power of the horns on his head overwhelms him. (The picture above is just one example of many.) The manga shows Aion clutching his head after discovering horrible secrets about his society, including that Pandaemonium was once a human woman, pregnant with him and Chrono, before she was turned into the Hive Queen of the demons. |

Invader Zim had two of these, although both assaults are tangible: "NanoZim", in which Zim shrinks himself and attacks Dib's brain to make him forget where he hid a disc containing evidence of Zim's otherworldliness. In the Halloween special, magical demon-things living inside Dib's head suck Dib into their world and open a portal in his head to get to the real world and take it over. |

In Disco Elysium, the Detective and Kim take this stance once Ruby ambushes them with the Pale Compressor, which is basically a device that beams radio signals directly to your head. | |

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends In "The Fantastic Frump", Doom unleashes a sonic attack that not only causes the clutching of the head and doubling over, but drives Firestar to her knees. In "The X-Men Adventure", a sonic attack causes Sprite to clutch her head and huddle in a fetal position. |

In Young Justice, when Miss Martian first attempts to communicate telepathically with the Team - not understanding that it is an invasion of privacy as she is not of Earth - they clutch their heads. In "Agendas", Superboy does this again out of surprise when Lex Luthor talks to him at a frequency that only his Kryptonian ears can hear. Again, when M'gann psychically attacks Aqualad he screams and clutches his head in pain, only to fall to the ground limp a moment later. |

Warhammer 40,000: Common for anyone under assault from Daemons or other warp-powers. While it's unlikely to do any difference once a Daemons has taken proper hold, it at least signals anyone around to get away as fast as possible. Psykers, who uses the warp as a weapon, are often seen doing this mindlessly, but that's what happens when you use the dimension of nightmares and horror as a tool. The Emperor's Children Traitor Legion has specialized themselves into using sonic weaponry, which inevitably leads to their enemy, and even other friendly squads, to grasp for their ears in pain. |

Superman: In a classic issue, an amnesiac Supergirl's clone does this when the titular heroine reveals her true nature. In the last issue of her second solo book Supergirl clutches her head, screaming "Get out of my head!" when a telepathic super-villain attempts to mind-rape her. In Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, Linda Lee accidentally breaks a wall and clutches her head as wondering how she can fix it before someone stumbles upon the mess. War World: Mongul clutches his head when Warworld's control helmet nearly fries his brain. In Krypton No More, Superman does this twice: when Supergirl tells him that they are Earth-born human mutants and later when the light of an orange star blinds him in the middle of a battle. Last Daughter of Krypton: When Supergirl is getting overwhelmed by a sensory overload shortly after arriving on Earth, she clutches her head with both hands, falls on her knees and screams. In Strangers at the Heart's Core, Linda Danvers clutches her head in pain when Lesla-Lar's spirit invades her mind. In The Hunt for Reactron, Supergirl grabs her head with both hands and screams when she is hit by a sonic weapon. Death & the Family: Kara clutches her head with both hands when she is hit by Silver Banshee's ear-shattering wail. |
