The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

I get a ton of questions all the time about Flare Ups, and how to handle them. Today on the pod we take a deep drive into the concept of Flare Ups and why they are as normal and expected as the nervous system itself. The correct mindset around these natural occurrences is key to moving through them with grace. Here's to greater healing all the time! I also answer a bunch of your Instagram questions from my poll this week (follow me @njsachs on Insta to be part of the conversation)! Only 5 more days (from the airing of this episode) to take advantage of the introductory rate for my Chicago Workshop retreat with Dr. John Stracks!

Do you really want the pain to leave? WOW. What a question, right? I think it isn't discussed often enough how many of us inadvertently hang onto the pain, often without realizing it, because we fear that we might need to do more or change something if it went away. Today, Christine Hauptman and I sit down and discuss her journey from pain with no diagnosis and anger, to willingness, self compassion and peace. Christine began to heal at our Omega Retreat last summer, and continues to do so. She is also brave enough to explore whether she's really ready to let go of the last vestiges of her pain, and we have an opportunity to broach this important topic together. Join us!

Hello my loves! Today we delve deep into setting intentions for this New Year (and decade!) and the ways in which we can get caught in outcomes and needing to avoid suffering.

Real time heal sessions have become my favorite conversations on this podcast. I have been doing one-on-one therapy for years, and the power of being in this sacred space on air really moves me. Today Whitney Rydman and I have a frank and heart opening conversation about grief and loss, feeling unseen and unheard, and all the symptoms that can express those issues in our bodies. We connect body image and perfectionism to fibro pain, and become really clear about dealing with the symptom imperative. What a great session! I'm thrilled to share it with you. Thank you, Whitney, for your candor and bravery. People like you make my job a joy.

The definition of perspective is: True understanding of the relative importance of things. Wow - what an impactful concept. Today on the pod we discuss the crucial role that perspective plays in our healing and happiness, and the many ways we can gain correct perspective into the really important things in life. When we lose this precious vantage point, we can stay stuck not only in our mindsets, but in our physical healing as well. Stay tuned after our talk for my "Questions and Answers" segment where I take your questions directly from Instagram, and answer them right on the pod. You can do this! I'm here for you. XOOX n.

I CANNOT express the power of surrender in quieting the nervous system. It is literally everything. If you are doing your JournalSpeak, meditating with loving kindness for yourself, and making sure to quiet the debating society in your head about whether or not your pain is due to a structural abnormality (it's not), then perhaps the reason you are still struggling is because you care too much, or you're trying too hard. I often say, "love more, care less". This episode is about exactly that. I reached out to the sage Dan Buglio of Pain Free You to engage in a dialogue about this today with me on the Pod. It is my heartfelt hope that this discussion yields a nugget of truth or two that allow you to surrender completely - to stop giving your pain and symptoms the energy of fear and overwhelm. When you are able to arrive at a place of "I give up. I don't care if I hurt or not," you have discovered the holy grail of mind/body recovery. Even if you think this impossible, Dan and I have some guidance for you. Allow it to sink in. The life you save is your own. XOOX n.

Singer/Songwriter Raye Zaragoza contacted me for a Real Time Heal after debilitating Migraines, Vertigo and light sensitivity brought her to her knees, sometimes literally. In her darkest hour, she found the work of Dr. Sarno, and then me. I am humbled by the privilege to help people awaken to their full potential, and at the tender age of 26, Raye is doing just that. Although she has come so far, fear is still her greatest adversary (we can all relate!) and we discuss this as well as deep inner child work which is life changing in the most profound way.

This third facet can often be the most elusive, and today we take some time to discuss its importance and how to start doing this for yourself in a very concrete way.

Dr. Stracks is an excellent TMS Physician who has been referring into my practice for almost 10 years. He's a wealth of knowledge about TMS, and has presented me with some of the most challenging cases I've ever tackled. I'm proud to say they all recovered beautifully, and saw so much benefit from seeing life through a mind/body lens (Including Mouse, Olivia (Natalie), Mickey, and Marian from this very Podcast! If you are needing a boost in your recovery, consider joining us Feb 22-23rd in Chicago this winter.

She has come through a grueling battle with Occipital Neuralgia to complete freedom, and she is articulate and wise in her telling of it.

Make sure to add: occipitial neuralgia to your list because you helped me be cured of that! :) Thank you for helping me finally thrive, the way I should've been for years and years and years.

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!)

OK, so listen to this. I get a million emails a week, and many of them are people asking me about their specific symptoms and how to get rid of them. I read them all (scout's honor) but obv I can't respond to all of them. Angie's plea was different - she had a suggestion: "Have you ever thought of treating a person in real time on a podcast? I would be open to that and it would be so powerful." Wow, what a great suggestion! And thus, Angie became my *first ever* "REAL TIME HEAL". Angie and I jumped on a call having never met or spoken, live on air, to do a real time session about her symptom imperative: Burning Mouth Syndrome. It's not easy to be on the spot (for either of us!) but I think our conversation contains a lot of great info that will be helpful to all. For those of you interested in applying for the next REAL TIME HEAL, write to me at [email protected] with your story and some background about you, and I will choose my next guest very soon! I hope you enjoy this new and scary concept. I loved the experience and can't wait to do it again!

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.

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!

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.

The first time I saw Scarlett in person she burst into tears - not tears of pain and sadness, but tears of relief and gratitude. How amazing is it when we get to cry for this reason? It's just the best. Scarlett's failed surgery for sciatica led her into a downward spiral of neuropathy and pain so disabling, she was using a walker at the age of 46. After learning about Dr. Sarno and doing my work, Scarlett now lives an active life free of chronic pain of any sort. She is a bright light of hope and inspiration, and it is my joy to share her with you today. XOOX n.

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. XO n.

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.

We are back from OMEGA and it was OFF THE HOOK. Such amazing healing right in front of my eyes, and so many aha moments and lightbulbs going off all over the place. The one aspect I don't think people expected was my emphasis on community. They didn't realize that they were going to get far more than information; they were being invited to realize that they're not alone - a powerful piece of information.

Listen guys - this is short and kind of lame because I am so wrung out from giving it my all at OMEGA. What an amazing, magical week it has been. I'm sure I will find my words to explain the gratitude, connection and healing that has taken place between these four walls and over the rolling hills and shade trees of this magnificent campus...

They say that you are only as happy as your saddest child. Well, at least my mom says that. This has been a hard week for me, but I do today what I vow to do every day - I show up authentically as myself. This episode is a prime example of that in my life. We also discuss how sometimes other people can trigger us to go to dark places in which we'd rather not be. But, since it's impossible to avoid interacting with "other people"... we have to learn how to protect ourselves from being in constant fight or flight!

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.

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.

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.

In this episode I take a moment to describe more fulsomely the details of my OMEGA retreat this summer from 7/21-26 in Rhinebeck, NY. Take a listen and maybe your question will be answered! Shoshana and I met through a friend while she was struggling with back to back upper respiratory and throat issues for months in advance of her opening as the lead in Waitress on Broadway. She was terrified she wouldn't be able to "trust her body" to perform the role. I stepped in to help. Within a few days she began to see improvement.

My OMEGA Retreat is live and on sale. Join us! The consciousness of the planet is shifting, and rising. We are being opened to greater possibilities, in both our relationships and our health. Most important, is of course, is our relationship with ourselves. This relationship is deepened by exposing the unconscious emotions which shape our worlds, and guide our behaviors. Plus, as you do your JournalSpeak practice and strengthen that relationship, your pain will fade and fade until it is no longer part of your day. Why? Because your nervous system will no longer be in sustained fight or flight, and will no longer need to protect you from the "predator" of your repressed emotions with your symptoms and pain. The greatest gift you can give yourself is waking up to the wholeness of your being. JournalSpeak is the vehicle which will bring you there. Sending love!

SIGN UP TO JOIN ME AT OMEGA HERE Today we discuss the symptom imperative - the way in which your symptoms may move around your body (from the back, to the headache, to the stomach, to anxiety etc.) as you begin to heal. Think about it - if the point of the pain or symptom is to distract you from the repressed emotions which are threatening to rise, then your brain and nervous system will use anything you will believe to achieve that goal. You don't need to panic - your JournalSpeak practice is a tool which will never fail you. Today we shed some light on this very normal occurrence, and empower you to leave the fear behind and do the work.. and live your best life.

I can't tell you how many questions I receive requesting guidance on helping kids with TMS. I figured.. how better to explain than to interview my own child? I raise my 5 kids with the knowledge that we live in a mind/body system. Sometimes we feel things in our hearts, and sometimes we feel things in our bodies. When it came to a scary diagnosis like Charlotte received last summer, we initially took the medical route to get some answers. When I realized that western medicine had taken us as far as we could go (that would be effective in helping her), we went full-on TMS recovery model, and it changed Charlotte's life.

Danielle was my friend - a person in my orbit who read my book to be polite (and perhaps interested!) but mostly just because I wrote one. And then one day she began suffering from a bizarre and frightening condition. It was hard to watch her walk that path, but I knew that she needed to reach true readiness to begin applying this work to her life. A gentle suggestion opened her mind, and it's been breathtaking to watch her life change before my eyes. Join us as we cuddle in my bed and chat with you about JournalSpeak, how it changed Dani forever, and how it could do the same for you.
