The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

When symptoms move through me, the first place I want to discuss it is here on this podcast. This week I have had some pain, and my JournalSpeak revealed some interesting patterns in my life that it may be time to challenge. I have always had an innate desire to control things, people, situations... am I alone? When I am unable to do so, sometimes my body clocks the danger. Yet, when I reflect on these impulses, I have to admit - I'm not so sure if they are "working." Today I invite you into my heart and mind. Hopefully my insights will shed some light on your own stuck places. Sending big love! xoxo n.

One day, seemingly out of nowhere, Louise began to feel unwell in her body. An inner uneasiness gave way to tremors and crushing fatigue, and her life devolved into living in her bed. For over eight years, bed bound, Louise struggled to figure out what was wrong with her, seeing countless doctors and specialists and being diagnosed with things like POTS, CFS/ME, fibromyalgia, and chronic vestibular migraine. It wasn’t until she learned about the tenets of MindBody Medicine that she began to turn it around. Join us today for an incredible story of recovery. Louise’s path has many twists and turns, and walking it with her will give you powerful insight into how to heal yourself. There is nothing more profound than the human story of suffering, surrender, discovery, and growth. I’m honored that my work was integral in, as Louise put it, bringing her home to herself. And, of course, eliminating her chronic pain and fatigue. Much love to all of you! XOOX n.

Sometimes I have a free hour or two, and my favorite activity is to put in my AirPods, listen to a podcast, and walk. It feels so free and renewing, and sometimes it's where I come up with my best ideas for this podcast. Recently, I was listening to This American Life, Suddenly! A Mirror! and a story in it made me think - how many of us are living our lives defined by past experiences that have encoded us with SHAME? Too many, I presume. Join me for a conversation which may just wake you up to some automatic thought patterns and self-definitions that are no longer serving you. In your TMS recovery, it can make all the difference. XOOX much love! Hope to see you in a couple days at OMEGA! -n.

Lisa and I found ourselves talking about a frequently asked question in our communities: Won’t thinking about my dark stuff make me worse? This is a typical fear of many people endeavoring TMS work. I have such empathy for the perceived quandary - it makes sense that paying attention to seemingly negative content might make it grow. Yet, we both know this is the opposite of truth. Then Lisa suggested a juxtaposition: let’s consider the difference between rumination and excavation. Whereas rumination is automatic and unproductive, excavation is intentional and leads to healing. I took the challenge of explaining it through the lens of JournalSpeak, and here we are! I think this episode will enable you to challenge your resistance and open yourself to the incredible transformation that JournalSpeak offers. Lots of love from both of us!

A lot of people in our communities talk about the difficulty of the “messy middle” - when you are no longer asleep and unaware that your symptoms are TMS, you are doing the work and carrying on, but you’re also challenged daily by the feeling that this is a lot to handle. Jamie, an OMEGA alum, has also been a member of our Heal With Nicole community, and honors the role of connection and friendship in navigating this messy middle place. Lisa and I treasure this experience as well. It reveals the importance of connectedness and the strength of the human spirit. She joins us today alongside Jamie to discuss our shared experiences in both our virtual and in-person OMEGA communities, and the ways in which our pain becomes an entry point to finding “our people” - being able to love and connect in new and deepening ways. Join us for a conversation that reveals the messy middle as, in a sense, all of life. When we embrace it as such, we have to power to transform both our physical and emotional health.
