How Repressed Emotions Fuel Chronic Pain | Heal Thy Self With Nicole Sachs #333

Chronic pain is more than just a physical sensation—it's a complex interplay of the mind, body, and emotions. In this insightful video, we explore the root causes of chronic pain, from nervous system dysregulation to the emotional triggers hidden within our daily lives. Discover how repressed emotions, family dynamics, and environmental factors like mold toxicity contribute to pain.

Learn about innovative approaches like mind-body medicine, journaling techniques, and practical tools for recovery. We also share personal stories of overcoming pain and insights into new methods for healing.
