Heal Squad x Maria Menounos 1070. Healing Chronic Illness: The MindBody Practice That Rewires Your Nervous System w/ Nicole Sachs
Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our amazing convo with Nicole Sachs, LCSW, psychotherapist, mindbody expert, and author of the upcoming book Mind Your Body. This time, Nicole is diving deep into her transformative practice called JournalSpeak, a method that’s helped her and so many others heal from chronic pain, anxiety, autoimmune symptoms, and more by getting to the root of what’s really going on: unprocessed emotions.
She breaks down how our subconscious beliefs, people-pleasing patterns, and early-life stressors can keep us sick—even when we think we’ve “moved on.” Nicole also shares personal stories (including how she healed a severe spinal condition doctors said was permanent!) and the exact tools that helped clients like Ricki Lake and Shoshana Bean reclaim their health.
If you’ve been doing all the things but still feel stuck, this might be the missing piece. Tune in!
HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:
-
JournalSpeak as a Path to Healing: Nicole shares how her daily 20-minute practice, JournalSpeak, helps release repressed emotions and subconscious beliefs that keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode—unlocking real, lasting healing from chronic pain and anxiety.
-
The Pain-Protection Connection: Many chronic symptoms are not signs of physical damage, but messages from a dysregulated nervous system trying to keep you safe from emotional discomfort or trauma. Nicole explains how understanding this rewires the healing process.
-
The Cost of People-Pleasing: Long-term patterns of perfectionism and putting others first may feel safe, but Nicole reveals how this emotional suppression often contributes to chronic symptoms and a dysregulated body.
