The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

Happy Podcast Day!! Today I take an excellent question from my FB community about the difference between reacting and responding, the power of pausing and considering a different assessment of the situation, and how this doesn't lead to the repression of more emotions. The beauty of the ability to *pause* is incredible, and paired with a consistent JournalSpeak practice can offer you so much freedom in the way you interact with your world (not to mention bring your pain waaaay down!) Join me for an important discussion on how this matters to your journey, and your life. Also today I introduce an opportunity to support my work, and enhance your recovery with more original content from me, or even direct interaction between us. I have established a Patreon page that will allow you to support my life saving efforts, and receive some real guidance in your personal journey.

In a groundbreaking live session, a listener named Angie shares her struggles with Burning Mouth Syndrome. The discussion opens up insights into real-time healing and the connection between emotional well-being and chronic pain. Personal stories highlight the mind-body relationship as transformative healing approaches like journaling and self-compassion come into play. Listeners are encouraged to challenge societal norms about quick fixes and embrace a deeper understanding of their pain. The community support fosters a sense of shared healing and empowerment.

Today we begin with an amazing email I received from a woman doing my work somewhere in the world. She had been diagnosed with Lyme and treated, and months later was still incapacitated. After accepting the process and doing the work, she has no trace of Lyme and is pain free. As she deals with the symptom imperative of anxiety, she is calm and secure that it will go away. Exactly the way this works! We discuss her question of how to tackle self criticism, and also answer a query from my Instagram community about how to stop needing the pain to be safe. So much good stuff here! I look forward to sharing it with you. NOTE: I have been invited to do a second 5 day retreat: this one April 5-10, 2020 at 1440 Multiversity in Santa Cruz, CA.

I had the best time talking to Grant Lewers. He is so wise and articulate about his journey from debilitating back pain to complete freedom, and there are so many great take aways from this conversation. If you've ever worried that JournalSpeak is too negative, and you are nervous to think about so much dark stuff, Grant has a bullseye explanation for you as he was the same. Join us for a great story, and an even better message.

One of the biggest mantras of my practice is: Start with the end in mind. What do we want out of life? If we don't know where we're going, it's very difficult to get there. Today on the Pod we discuss what it means to live in peace, and the ways in which we can most effectively get there. Annoyingly, this often involves patience and forgiveness, two topics that come up a lot in my Instagram questions (for more on this follow me @njsachs). I delve into these topics and more, including the beautiful synergy between my work and the Curable App, my first sponsor who I SO believe in. Don't forget, The Cure for Chronic Pain listeners get 50% off a year's subscription when they visit getcurable.com/nicole! This is an amazing deal, and I hope you take advantage of it and kick your healing into high gear. Finally, my OMEGA retreat for next summer is LIVE AND ON SALE! Check out the recap of last summer on my YouTube Channel and sign up soon if this lights you up, as this one will sell out for sure. Sending big love and support. XOOX n.

There are few people in the world who get the mind/body connection like Dan Buglio.

We all wish we could control our worlds - the way people react to us, the outcomes of our loved ones, the behavior of our coworkers. We have this illusion that if we could just control our worlds, we would be safe from pain and suffering. It's simply not true - something most of us (me included) need to learn the hard way. Join us today on the Pod as we discuss this common illusion, and the actual healthy ways in which we can control what we can control: ourselves, and our actions fueled by love.

Scarlett's journey from debilitating neuropathy to a vibrant life is truly inspiring. After a failed surgery, she found hope through Dr. Sarno's teachings and the power of emotional healing. The importance of journaling and embracing discomfort emerges as key tools for personal growth. Community support proves essential, highlighting how shared experiences foster connection and resilience. Listeners are encouraged to find strength in vulnerability and believe in their healing journeys, leaving with a sense of hope and empowerment.

Thanks to my lovely instagram following (follow me @njsachs if you haven't yet for all the content I put up there) I got the great suggestion to discuss Panic and panic related disorders on the Pod today. I know how scary it is to feel like panic is ruling your life, and today I discuss the ways in which it is impacting me personally as well as helpful suggestions on how to handle it in your own life. Hand in hand with addressing panic in your life is the practice of radical acceptance, so we talk about that a lot here too! Love to you all.

I first met Barb Mastrianni when she flew all the way to Chicago from the East Coast just to hear me speak for a few hours. I was floored (and a little scared it wasn't worth it!) but she was really moved and changed from the experience, and has gone on to live an inspiring and beautiful story of recovery. I am thrilled to interview Barb today. She is so wise and articulate about every important piece of the TMS journey, and even with technical issues it is one of my favorite interviews to date. Join us as we talk about her story and the role of FEAR... and how important it is acknowledge this common state of thinking, and turn it around.
