The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

There is no way to be everything to everyone, so no matter who you are or what you do - something's getting cheated. When we go full force in our careers, we cheat our families. When we spend our days meeting everyone else's needs, we cheat self care. Listen, all this stuff is normal. It's part of being alive.  This is about more than just home/work balance, however. If we are to get the most out of this human experience and allow ourselves to be well, we have to figure out what aspects of ourselves we are cheating in order to identify as people who are no longer sick. It sounds crazy, but it's true. Join me as we discuss this today, and I give you a peek into what I'm willing to cheat, and what I'm not.

Amidst the chaos of the last day of school and fighting a bit of a cold, I was in the perfect mindset to talk about acceptance. This may be the most important Podcast I've recorded to date, and will be a major focus at my OMEGA retreat this summer. You have no idea how your healing will be aided by practicing acceptance of yourself, your situation, your healing, and the current moment. Join me today as I explain the integral role that acceptance plays in your wellness, and open yourself to the practice in your own life.

As I always say, chronic pain is not just about pain. It is about every way in which we relate to our bodies. So many of us don't know how to feel our feelings properly, and one of the ways we cope is to "eat" them. Lisa Schlosberg knows this story well. After a childhood of morbid obesity, losing 150 pounds in college taught her about the importance of mental and emotional health. After realizing both over-eating and under-eating had been means of coping with unexpressed emotion, she grew passionate about helping others bridge the gap between mental and physical health.  When we met at last summer, I was instantly taken by the poise and intelligence of this young woman. When she discovered my work, she realized that her years of painful IBS now had a solution as well. Today on the Pod we talk about it all, and how Lisa will be bringing all of her amazing knowledge to OMEGA this summer. I am so excited! As a Certified Personal Trainer, Integrative Nutrition Holistic Health Coach, Licensed Master of Social Work, and Public Speaker, Lisa now conducts both in-person and online coaching sessions, providing guidance as her clients connect the mental/emotional, physical, spiritual, and social dots of their own lives. Her mission is to help men and women struggling with their relationship to food, eating, and their body become aligned with, attuned to, understanding of, and loving toward themselves throughout the lifelong process of growth, transformation, and evolution.  Learn more about Nicole, and how she can help you: MY OMEGA RETREAT IS LIVE AND ON SALE Website: The Cure for Chronic Pain YouTube: The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW Book: The Meaning of Truth Online Course: FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN FB Closed Group:  Nicole Sachs' Support  Circle OMEGA General info: OMEGA INSTITUTE Learn more about Lisa here: http://lisaschlosberg.com Instagram: @schlossfit Facebook: Facebook.com/Schlossfit YouTube (speeches): Lisa Schlosberg Email: schlossfit@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on the Pod we discuss three really important topics. Pelvic Pain is a topic about which I have been hearing A LOT via emails, posts and comments. Many people mistake pelvic pain and issues to be separate of the work we are doing, therefore robbing themselves of the amazing ability they have to heal themselves. Today we discuss how Pelvic Pain is no different than any other TMS symptom, and can be cured as readily as back pain or migraines. We also discuss the fact you YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SICK (no clarification needed), and we touch on resentments and how important it is to remember that forgiveness is first and foremost for yourself. Sending big love out there into the universe! Ps. Oprah I'm ready for you to call.

I often hear from people reporting dramatic cessation in their pain, but a major uptick in their anxiety, and they are frightened and bewildered. Not to fear!

It's a great opportunity to learn about mind/body healing from a therapist who has actually lived through a harrowing recovery herself. Julie Markowitz is one such person. Julie contacted me after being a fan of the podcast, and using it to share information on TMS recovery in her own practice. Join us for a conversation which tells a tale of excruciating pain, failed surgeries, and ultimately complete recovery using mind/body techniques. It's amazing how our bodies respond when we understand that we are ok, safe, and enough. XO More about Julie's work and practice here.

I have NOT always been a spiritual being myself, but my journey into the possibility of a spiritual life has informed my chronic pain recovery as much as anything else I've done.

Today I share a little about my own personal spiritual awakenings as well as interview the breathtaking Athena Allread, a modern Shaman who will be joining us at OMEGA this summer. No matter who you are or what you believe, there is room for you here. Welcome, and we love you.
