The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

Sometimes when we are actually in crisis, we are free of chronic symptoms because the brain and the nervous system are actively engaged in saving our own lives or someone else's. When the crisis is alleviated, however, it is then that many people come down with a chronic condition that holds the space for that long term panic. This is precisely what happened to Kristin. A busy schoolteacher and mom, Kristin was blindsided with a migraine disorder after her firstborn son emerged from years of struggle. She had no idea that her pain was tied to her long term heightened state of fear and anxiety. Join us today as we walk this path with Kristin from panic, to confusion, to willingness, to epiphany. And then to total body health and freedom! Kirstin is chronic pain free today, and so excited to help others. I love to bring these stories to you. Much love! xoxo n.

The number one question I get is always around the brain and nervous system and WHY WHY WHY it somehow feels "safer" to be sick than to feel the darkest of our human emotions. Today we revisit an episode from the Summer Series '22 where we explore just that. We are more than willing to lament to friends that we are "annoyed", "bummed", or "freaked out." But we are less likely to talk about being enraged, grieving, or terrified. This is sometimes because we are embarrassed, but more likely because these feelings operate under the cover of darkness in our subconscious minds. The nervous system feels them though, and chronic illness is a response in the form of protection. So much to understand here, and repetition is key for learning. Let's revisit this important topic, together. Much love! xoxo n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser Come to Migraine Deep Dive Retreat! My Website: https://www.thecureforchronicpain.com/ OMEGA IS LIVE!

What a fun and great learning experience to sit down with Phil De La Haye. Phil is an Internal Family Systems practitioner with a particular interest in the mindbody connection and chronic symptoms. He recovered from chronic pain himself, and JournalSpeak was a very important tool in his recovery. He’s passionate about how IFS can support the JournalSpeak process through building deep connection with all the different parts of ourselves, even the ones that seem challenging or harmful on the surface. Today I was in the hot seat (which Phil made sure was nice and cool) and I got to be the client as he engaged me in an IFS exercise with my parts! So interesting and enlightening.

Being triggered is different than being uncomfortable or annoyed. When we are truly triggered, we are brought to a place in the past when we were traumatized in some way (Big or little t) and we lose ability to control our reactions. Although triggers are normal and nothing to be ashamed of, the more awareness we practice around them the more freedom we have to affect our responses to life. No one wants to be a reacting machine. We want space to have control over the one thing we have control over in this life: our own behavior. This starts by being aware of our triggers, why we have them, and what to do in order to unmask and see them. Join me for a great discussion on triggers, partially first aired last summer as part of the summer series. I am learning new things about myself all the time, and I Invite you to do the same.

Gigi is a brilliant TMS mind who lived through 10 years of chronic illness with no idea what was wrong with her. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome at the age of 14, it never made sense to Gigi that her myriad symptoms were always being blamed on this one genetic anomaly. As she grew, so did her symptoms. She was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, POTS, and others. Her worst symptoms of all were bladder pain and urgency, leading to a diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis and eventually leaving her bedridden at the age of 21. Luckily, Gigi's mother and best advocate found my podcast in a late night desperate search, and that's where the magic begins! Gigi has her Master's in Biology from Oxford, and we do a wonderful deep dive into what it means to struggle against new ideas when we are so imbued in the Western Medical Model and what it means to heal incredibly once those new ideas are embraced.

Migraines, as with all TMS equivalents, are a tool of the brain and nervous system to distract and protect us from that which feels impossible to handle - our daily stressors and repressed emotional worlds. This is the way TMS works. Although I wholeheartedly believe that migraines are interchangeable with any TMS symptom (back pain, fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, IBS, etc.), sometimes a symptom becomes so ubiquitous that it deserves some specific attention. Migraines are so prevalent right now, and I want to create understanding and community in a way that allows people to feel truly safe to heal. I am doing a one time Migraine Deep Dive Virtual Retreat on 6/3 at 12 noon EST (recorded for all to keep). Click this link to join us, or go to my website and click on the retreats tab! I'm here for you. You do not need to suffer like this, I promise. XOOX n. https://www.thecureforchronicpain.com/work-with-nicole Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser Come to Migraine Deep Dive Retreat!

Some TMS stories are so textbook they make me want to laugh and cry at the same time. This is true for Shivani's chronic pain journey. She had TMS in childhood (didn't we all?) and then it moved from pelvic issues to back pain to anxiety and back! The great news is that Shivani is pain free today, and the better news is that she is a Psychiatric nurse and will make such a difference in this world carrying the message. I'm thrilled to share her story with you today. XOOX n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE! COME SPEND THE WEEK WITH US 6/25-6/30 Click here!

Recovery is a winding journey, not a straight line. A poignant listener's story reveals the connection between physical pain and emotional struggles. The metaphor of climbing a mountain illustrates the non-linear path through grief. Mindfulness and visualizations aid in navigating loss, with setbacks acknowledged as part of growth. A transformative journey highlights journaling as a tool to uncover suppressed emotions. Embracing discomfort offers valuable lessons, reinforcing that all emotions are teachers guiding us to deeper understanding.

Evie's life was planned before she was old enough to have a real opinion. A child prodigy, she began boarding school for professional violin when she was 9. Although she loved playing her instrument, by the time she was 15 she was debilitated in back pain with no idea why. At first (as so many of us do) she thought the origin of her pain was poor posture or muscle weakness. After years of failed treatments and exercises, she was forced to leave conservatory, and her journey of self-discovery began. At the young age of 20, Evie is so wise. She has done the work to heal herself completely and lives a limitless life, but she is quick to say that this work is about so much more than getting out of pain. Evie's message is one every one of us needs to hear. Join us for an inspiring and insightful conversation. XO Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE!
