The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

The ever popular REAL TIME HEAL series is back with a moving session with Sarita. Sarita has been stalled in her healing journey and needs a boost. Today we sit together for a totally unscripted and unedited real time session, where we discuss the impact of early childhood abandonment and how it informs our lifelong coping strategies. One the these strategies that lends itself to a great deal of emotional repression is the "mask" we feel we must wear to appear a certain way to others. We fear that if our true selves are revealed, we might be abandoned once again. (The irony of corona-land and masks is not lost on us!) Join me, and the brave and lovely Sarita as we examine her life, and get her back on track for continued healing. My first ever VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

Hello my faves. Today on the pod we discuss the long history in my own life of people pleasing, and how it requires us to shut ourselves down to the point where we lose contact with who we are and what we need. The result of years of this behavior? Lots of pain and symptoms that are felt in our bodies, as our hearts simply have no more room to spare. Join me as we delve into exactly what people pleasing is, why we do it, and why it is so important to create a steam valve for the related feelings to be released. You may not be ready to change your people pleasing behaviors, which is fine, but there must be space for the YOU in your life, and I will help you make some. (Bonus performance by Charlotte Sachs at the end: The Ballad of Love and Hate by the Avett Brothers :) My first ever VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

There are so many of us who walk this path of healing, and we are a diverse group. Today on the pod I interview Meredith Carpenter, a molecular biologist and lifelong believer in the western medical model, on her journey from confusion and despair to surgery, openmindedness, willingness, and healing. Meredith originally contacted me for a REAL TIME HEAL months ago. By the time I read her submission and got in touch, she reported that she was already healed from doing the work on her own! What a joy to interview her anyway. Meredith and I were able to talk about many facets of the healing path, as well as thoughtfully broach and debate whether or not back surgery is necessary, and engage in the kind of discourse which allows for each opinion to be honored. I'm sure there will be tidbits of wisdom for every one of us! Enjoy XOOX n. My New IGTV Series, "I Am Evidence" is now on Instagram @nicolesachslcsw.

Hahaha. I know, you hate to journal. You feel the resistance, and you struggle to show up for yourself. We have all been there. Today on the pod I address this common struggle, and help you to understand what you are actually inviting into your experience when you dedicate yourself wholesomely to the work. I know it's hard, but we can do hard things... as my fave Glennon Doyle is always telling me in my head. We can, and we must! (if we want to heal.) Also today, I announce my new IGTV series, "I Am Evidence" now on Instagram @njsachs. Search it up on Insta, and join me for more free content for your healing journey.

Gabby Bernstein is an inspiration of the highest order - a person who not only seeks relentlessly to set herself free, but practices what she preaches with earnest willingness and passion. What a joy it was to connect with Gabby. I was originally introduced to Gabby's work in the days of my early sobriety when I read her book, The Universe Has Your Back, 5 years ago. It immediately resonated with me, as I knew intuitively that we were speaking the same language. In addition to changing my life personally, the story of her own TMS (which she didn't even know was TMS at the time!) showed me that my work was needed in this world, and encouraged me to get up every day and bring it to the global community. Today on the pod, Gabby and I sit down to discuss the ways in which her life has changed since discovering Dr. Sarno and my work, and the ways she can continue learning and growing. Gabby is more than a fellow spiritual teacher on this planet to me now - now I can call her a friend. How lucky I am.  XOOX enjoy... n. VIRTUAL MINI RETREATS ON SALE NOW.

Hello my fellow shelterers in place! Welcome to the world of what the hell is going on. There are so many question marks in the world right now, but one certainty: we have time right now to figure out what's next for us. During a potentially stressful and frightening time, it might be tempting to retreat into our shells of fear, and choose to hold our breath and wish it to be over. But! We can also choose to encapsulate ourselves into a chrysalis of change and growth, taking this unique opportunity to make boldly healthy choices for ourselves despite natural, human resistance. Join me today for a conversation about this choice between mental and emotional "quarantine" versus "chrysalis", and how I am working it out in my own life. Perhaps you will be inspired to reexamine yours! Sending big love to you. XO be well. -n. VIRTUAL MINI RETREATS ON SALE NOW.

When I sat down first thing in the morning (my time) to chat across the pond with Adam Wight in the middle of his day, our tone of voices were just a bit more free than they might be now. It's interesting to think how quickly our days are changing! But we will all make it through, as we continue to actively choose love over fear. In today's episode, Adam and I delve into a lifetime of repressed emotions over his life with his mother, and the obvious and natural connection that has to his anxiety, digestive issues, and other TMS symptoms. Join us for an impactful and eye opening real time heal. Stay safe and connected out there, wherever this day finds you. Sending big love.. n. VIRTUAL MINI RETREATS ON SALE NOW.

Hello my fam. Wow - we are living in unprecedented times for sure. Today I decided to depart from my usual advice-giving guidance and provide an opportunity for soothe and pause. Dr. Sarno spoke often of soothe factors - things we could do that either lit up our minds or fed our souls, that had nothing to do with the urgency of healing (or in this case, Coronavirus). On today's pod, I present soothe factors in 3 acts: A reading of a thought provoking piece of writing, a joke, and a young girl's attempt at her version of a beautiful song as she teaches herself the ukulele. I hope you enjoy it, and it allows you to take a break from your own brain for a moment. Sending big love from me to you.. n.

After receiving hundreds of emails regarding how to emotionally handle this global issue, I decided to dedicate the pod today to the Coronavirus and how we can keep ourselves in the best space, mind body and spirit. Remember that fear and worry are simply information which inform us of the next, right, considered action to take. After that, they begin to steal from us and make us even more susceptible to illness. Join me for a discussion to calm your nervous system and give you the tools to best handle this moment in our lives. Sending big love to you.. n.

Per usual, these Real Time Heals are incredible. Anna's pain started when she was pregnant, which makes sense as it is a time of such big feelings! Yet as she continued to go from doctor to doctor in fear, it persisted and worsened. After several failed expensive treatment experiences and a nightmare medication moment, Anna decided to shift her mindset and try something new. Join us for an eye opening session where we get to the bottom of what is keeping Anna stuck: toxic perfectionism and her struggle with belief. So many gold nuggets in this one - join us! I obviously can't do a Real Time Heal with everyone, so if you want to jumpstart your healing in ways you hadn't thought possible, please come learn with me at 1440 Multiversity in April, the 5th-10th.
