The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

When grief hits, no matter how "prepared" you may be, it can feel like an attack to the Nervous System. For me, in these past few weeks following the Surfside, Miami building collapse and the loss of my dear friend Theresa and her parents, it certainly has felt this way. Today on the pod we talk about grief, and how to take care of yourself when you are overwhelmed. As Theresa's brother David said in his beautiful eulogy for his family, "We don't prepare children for grief by exposing them to grief. We prepare children for grief by cultivating and maintaining for them a deep reservoir of joy and love." That's the stuff right there. Much love to you, whatever you're grieving. XOXO n.

Ruthie's story typifies my strongest feeling about this work: Chronic pain is an epidemic of fear. Her foot pain, which started in one localized place, soon ballooned into pain in 11 places in her body. Fear begot fear, and Dr. Google only made it worse. Ruthie hopped from doctor to doctor, and hit all the support groups. As her journey would have it, she saw an ad for the Curable App and through them, found my work. Staunch belief and JournalSpeak rocketed Ruthie to health, and hers is a powerful story of recovery. Join us for an awesome conversation! XOXO n.

From an early age we are stuck in an impossible conflict: Do we express ourselves fully and with reckless abandon, or self-regulate per society's wishes and repress hella emotions in the process. Today on the pod we discuss this inevitable and necessary human dilemma, and the ways in which we can live in the solution - even when there are so many emotions that the mind/body wishes to express! Spoiler alert: it involves JournalSpeak :) Join us for another conversation that may open your eyes and mind to things we don't always see as obvious. xoxo n.

Dani is my best friend and trusted sister, and also - as life would have it - a person who needed JournalSpeak really badly. Born highly sensitive and raised with a great deal of childhood trauma, Dani found herself with many TMS symptoms that ranged from irritating to scary. I feel privileged to have affected Dani's life in such a profound way, as she continues to affect mine. As a composer and musician, Dani embraces music and song as an amazing vehicle to release trapped energy. She will be joining me at OMEGA next month, and we will all sing together! It's going to be magical. Enjoy this playful yet serious chat about the ways in which JournalSpeak can change a life. XOXO n.

So often I am asked about self-love. "How can I love myself, Nicole? It feels so hard." I get it. Self-love can seem so elusive. In my opinion, the route to self-love runs through the river of self-acceptance. There are natural, human barriers to self-acceptance that I think we don't often consider. Today, we discuss it all. And... the lovely Charlotte Sachs makes a return visit with her eukellele to sing for us. Enjoy!

So often we walk through life reacting and responding to situations, with no idea that it's not just "the way we are". Trauma responses are ways of behaving that are created and informed by the trauma we experienced as we grew. It's important to note that trauma need not be only Capital T Trauma like severe abuse and neglect. Children sustain trauma by not being heard or seen, by being criticized or ignored, by being told that they had to keep secrets, by being raised in chaos with emotionally disregulated people, etc. There are many experiences that shape how we respond to life. Healing and growth are possible when we realize that we are NOT our trauma responses. We are so much bigger than these old patterns that can only define us until we wake up. Join me today for an eye opening discussion on a few different trauma responses and the ways in which we can become aware of the ways we are triggered, and find our way back to ourselves.

I met Hannah Matluck of The V Hive (formerly The Women's Pelvic Pain Podcast) somewhat randomly a couple years ago when she wanted me to speak as an expert on her podcast. Little did either of us know how much that one interview would change her life. Hannah transformed her entire message to a mindbody approach, healed after years of suffering, and is even going back to school for an MSW to become a clinician! I love how life is serendipitous like that. This interview has so much good healing in it, and such important guidance, no matter how your TMS is showing up in your life. Join us for a great convo. Lots of love to you, from me. XOOX n. GET 50% OFF ONE YEAR OF THE CURABLE APP: go to www.getcurable.com/nicole MY OMEGA RETREAT IS LIVE AND ON SALE FOR IN-PERSON WORKSHOP 8/1-8/6 in upstate NY!

I have been in the grips of physical and mental "control addiction" for a lifetime. Well, for most of a lifetime. Through loving, patient, and consistent work on myself, I have been able to let it go to a large extent. Control begins as a kind defense mechanism allowing us to perceive "fake safety" as a way to get through life. But when we become aware of the fact that it's hurting us more than it's helping us, we are at a crossroads. Today we discuss this very normal way of "handling" life, what to do when it's not working anymore, and why awareness of these patterns is key to growth and change. Join us! XO n.
