The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

This is a tough week to produce a podcast. We struggled long and hard on how I could express our feelings around what is going on in the Middle East. It's difficult to find the right words when tensions are so high, but impossible to say nothing. Thank you to my incredible producer Lisa Eisenpresser who was able to help formulate my heart into a communication that felt real and true. I hope wherever this finds you and whomever you are, you are able to use a little bit of wisdom on pausing and finding your true responses to life. We are human, we are here, and we are in it together. I send all my love to the suffering and to the scared. Take care of yourself today. xo n.

Kimberley knew nothing about this work when she arrived at The Omega Institute for our retreat last June. She had recently given birth to her 4th child, and she saw the retreat as a "spa vacation" to take a break from her life. Boy, was she hit with a reality check when she arrived at a no joke week of transformational hard work! BUT. This was the beginning of a new life for Kimberley. Having suffered from extreme chronic conditions and diagnoses for a lifetime, Kimberley found herself at a crossroads: Do the work even though it feels hard and scary, or live the way she had been living. She chose to take back her power and her life. Join us for a powerful testimony to this work and the insane ability for the body to completely reset when moved from fight or flight to rest and repair. Kimberley is living a life of limitless possibilities, and she will be back at Omega next year for more! Enjoy this uplifting and instructive story of a life changed. XOXO n.

Explore the fascinating 'symptom imperative,' where chronic symptoms shift to grab your attention while you're grappling with emotional turmoil. Learn how self-reflection and journaling can deepen your understanding of the mind-body connection. The discussion tackles the value of observing fear without immediate reaction and embracing pain as informative. Radical acceptance is emphasized as a transformative path toward healing, alongside insights into calming the nervous system and taking charge of your health journey.

When Katie first joined our Membership Community last fall, she has already been through the gamut of TMS symptoms since childhood. Raised in a family affected by alcoholism, Katie as the oldest child was parentified from a young age. Although she was stricken with pretty serious TMS growing up, Katie always showed up with a brave face. At home, nothing was discussed. At school, she shined. This, of course, can't last forever - no human can take it. Join us today for a profound and impactful RTH where Katie shares her story thus far, and then we delve together into the places that might be keeping her stuck. I love these opportunities to move the needle on healing, and I feel confident that Katie will continue to ascend up her own mountains. Enjoy! XOOX n.

Today on the pod Lisa and discuss the lessons learned from my move across country. Although the idea for this pod began as a (rageful) PSA on moving companies and the ugly scammy business they are, it quickly evolved into a conversation about why we ignore red flags, allow others to shame us, and lose the power to use our voices. Let's take a moment today to reflect on how our old programming may be standing in the way of our authenticity, and take the steps to mindfully change that.

When Lisa and I first came across Elise Loehnen's most recent work, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good, we were taken by the many parallels between Elise's explanation of women's emotional repression and our own work with the TMS community. Elise has written a masterful book that deconstructs the many reasons that women struggle to be heard, both by others and themselves. The synergy between Elise's work and ours is profound. Join us as we chat all together (Lisa and I in our dual interviewing debut!) on how “Niceness”, “Compliance”, “People Pleasing”, “Conflict Avoidance”, and “Sublimated and Unprocessed Anger” are correlated with Cancer, ALS, autoimmune illnesses, and many more. Plus, we discuss Elise's own experience with TMS in the form of chronic hyperventilation and jaw pain. We were thrilled to welcome Elise onto the pod. Enjoy, and go pick up her book. It's incredible.

As this new post pandemic world rolls along, we are living now in the age of Long Covid. So many people are suffering, and it's so important to discuss as often as possible the ways in which we can keep our fears at bay, recognizing long covid for what it is: a reaction of the mindbody system to stress and long-term sustained fight or flight. In other words, Long Covid is TMS. Today we have the first of many - a conversation with my partner and producer Lisa Eisenpresser about what it feels like to walk the world with the mindset of fear versus the mindset of TMS and safety. I am so excited and happy to present Lisa's podcast debut with the promise of many more! Also, we feature a speakpipe from Sean, an Omega alum and warrior among us walking the TMS walk. This is an episode for all of us as we continue to navigate this post pandemic terrain. Enjoy! xoxox n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser PURCHASE MIGRAINE DEEP DIVE RECORDING!

When HBO's The Vow revealed that a horrible cult leader was abusing women, I was riveted to every episode. But the most captivating thing about this documentary series for me was the strength and fortitude of a mother desperately seeking to rescue her beloved daughter. Catherine and India Oxenberg's story was one that gripped me the entire time, and I was rooting for them vehemently - mother to mother - energetically. Cut to several months later: I get a DM on instagram from Catherine. The moment India was safe, Catherine fell horribly ill with excruciating nerve pain. This is so typical of TMS! She received many diagnoses, and no medication was touching the symptoms. She found mindbody work, mercifully, and began her healing journey. We've kept in touch over the years, and Catherine has emerged from this harrowing journey totally chronic pain free! I am thrilled to share her story here with you today. xoxo n.

Times of transition, change, and upheaval are breeding grounds for TMS. Today on the podcast, we talk a little about how I'm handling that in my own life, and one of the most important concepts to continue to practice in these times: Belief in this process and TMS. Today we are taking on the concept of belief, trusting yourself, "Knowing" from the seat of your consciousness, and so much more. As a redux of one the most popular episodes of last summer, we share a story from Michelle, a therapist and mother of two who is struggling to believe that this work can "work" for her. Her lovely vulnerability gives us all a gift of this essential conversation. I look forward to sharing it with you, and hearing from you about how you felt about it. Sending big love! xoxo n.

Brooke has been a yogi for years, and co-owns two incredible yoga studios. Even after practicing yoga up to 6 times a week, Brooke's flexibility and pain on the mat never changed. She resolved herself to the fact that this was simply, "What her body was like." After coming across my JournalSpeak practice and teachings, Brooke decided to take a chance and see what was constricting her within. She was SHOCKED to see her body physically change as she did her JS practice throughout the pandemic. Now Brooke is limber and pain-free on the mat, but that's not all. Her relationships are more authentic and deeper than ever before. Join us for an uplifting conversation about the amazing ways our bodies can change when we release the blockages in our hearts and minds. XOOX n.
