This interview is one for the history books. Not only is Rachel's story CRAZY inspirational, the magic that accompanies our knowing one another and the synergy of how it unfolded is uncommon and moving. I can't wait to share this one with you! Note: we had some unforeseen technical issues in the last 5 minutes of our talk, so please forgive the audio glitch. It doesn't take away 1% from the power of this tale of recovery. Special thanks to Oliver Sachs for coming through with a genius audio edit. Gotta love having a son at NYU studying music technology.  Through postpartum depression, panic attacks, back and hip pain, Rachel fought her way through and out as only our sweet "Fight Song" warrior could, and her description of the lowest lows and the revelation of recovery will motivate you to carry forth through your own. So much love from both of us to all of you. xoxo n. COME TO OMEGA JUNE 22-27, 2025! CLICK HERE. Come play with us on our new site! www.yourbreakawake.com Click the link and then click around within.

Barb walked into my life on a chilly Saturday in February. She had flown all the way from New Jersey to Chicago to attend my first ever in person retreat - one of 20 people in attendance! Over the years I have watched Barb grow and flourish, releasing all of her chronic pain and first appearing on this podcast Season 1 Episode 41.She then wrote up her amazing story for inclusion in my upcoming book! A few weeks ago, Barb reached out and offered to come back on the pod. Little did I know at the time, she wanted to discuss one of the most hotly discussed and important issues - RELAPSE. Barb has been through a rough spot and come out stronger, clearer, and more empowered than ever before! I'm so excited to share this essential episode with you. Much love! xoxo n. Remember!

I love doing Real Time Heals - they allow me to empty my mind and hone in on exactly what someone needs. Today was no exception! The only thing I will say here, is that  Camille is so tapped in, smart, and willing about this process that she sounds more like a success story than a RTH. Having said this, we get down to it. And come up with a rich conversation on shame, and all its implications. Such an important topic. Join us! XOXO n.

Recently we had the most enlightening conversation in our Membership Community. Lisa and I were leading our monthly community-wide meeting, and one of our members shared about how triggered she was when she was bored. She recounted growing up with 30-40 cousins, and she was the youngest. Every time they had family events, she had to sit there for hours, not being seen, heard, or cared about. She was just too young to be part of the discussion. Now, as a grown woman in her 60's, this lovely soul was so triggered by being "bored" that she developed pain in her body during these times! I knew there was more to this story. Join me today for a one-on-one hang where I explain why underneath boredom is anger, and shed light on the many ways we unconsciously avoid our big feelings.

Ever since I first heard the sentence, "We can do hard things," it had profound meaning to me. It is becoming even more impactful as I sit with my hard things, and allow them to transform. I have found that I am no longer running with terror away from discomfort, and it has changed my life. Now I realize, not only CAN we do hard things... we MUST. Staying with our discomfort changes everything. I love Glennon Doyle's work and this, her tag line. I don't know her personally, but even so her brave honesty has influenced my willingness to come forth with mine. Join me as we discuss the kind of hard things that come up, and how we can sit them them and transcend. Much love, n. My next VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

I first saw Jan's name in the oldest TMS forum around - The TMS Wiki. She was such a robust contributor, they called her a Beloved Grand Eagle. Over the years, I made note of Jan's wise and thoughtful contributions. She often re-posted this podcast and offered advice on how it could help others! When I reached out to Jan to share her story, she enthusiastically agreed. Her journey with TMS is long and varied, and includes many full successes. Her current dance is with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and she is navigating it with all of her TMS experience. Join us for an important conversation about healing well into our later decades and the ways in which we can marry the best that the medical model and MindBody medicine have to offer. XO! n.

I met Jaime Henle at a weekend retreat I ran back in 2022 in North Carolina. Jaime had no idea what she was getting into, walking into a room with the hope of, "a relaxing weekend with meditation." Well, she did get that to some extent, but she got a LOT more. Jaime had been suffering from chronic back pain since her first daughter was born, and in retrospect, many other TMS symptoms over the years. She had never heard of me, but after only a couple hours and a single JournalSpeak session, Jaime knew she was onto something big. Join us for a wonderful story of recovery, expansion, and community. Jaime even wrote a children's book about her experience - Why Does my Body Hurt? A Children’s guide to the Mind-Body Connection, and how Repressed  Emotions Lead to Physical Pain.

Our teen ambassador Kate is back! After our first podcast on Teens Teaching Teens this past winter (Season 3, Episode 74), parents from all over the country wrote to us about their teens' struggles with chronic issues. Kate and I started working to connect these kids with the mindset and work they needed to heal. Catherine was one of these kids - A D1 athlete who is off to college to play Lacrosse. At the time, she was suffering in chronic knee pain, even with a clean MRI. After meeting with us and dedicating herself to a JournalSpeak practice, Catherine is back on the field and no longer in pain. Truly, it has changed her life. It's been fantastic working with a teen ambassador. Kate will be joining us at OMEGA!

I met Ruthie Lindsey just over a year ago, when she was struggling with chronic pain. She knew about the mind/body connection and embraced it, but didn't know quite what to do to heal. Through our beautiful connection and her badass JournalSpeak practice as well as other incredible self care, Ruthie is a new person, no longer ruled by chronic pain. Her new memoir, Here I Am, is an honest and life affirming story of tragedy and ascension, and I love love loved it. Today on the pod we discuss her journey, her experience with my work, and the incredible life lessons she has to share. Join us!

I met NBA Denver Nugget's Forward Michael Porter, Jr. at a rather low point in his life. He had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease while still in his teens, and by the time we crossed paths he'd had three back surgeries that didn't cure his pain. In fact, in the Summer of 2023 when we came together, he was in a flare so bad he was struggling to walk up the stairs. Thankfully for Mike, he is blessed with an open mind and a curious nature. He knew after surgery #3 that he had to find another way to look at his pain, or risk losing his career. After discovering Dr. Sarno's work, he quickly came across mine. Michael's life has never been the same. He dove into JournalSpeak, boldly and bravely looking at the places he was holding anger, grief, and shame. He examined his childhood, and made profound connections about things like achieving in basketball and his perception of being loved. Paired with the essentials of a TMS mindset and an understanding of the brain science, unearthing these core emotions and truths set him free. Today, Michael is (pun intended) at the top of his game. He has no chronic back pain whatsoever, and when he gets even a hint of a sensation, he need only employ the principles of MindBody medicine to send it on its way. I could go on forever about his uncommon wisdom for a 25-year-old, but I'd rather you hear it from Michael yourself. Enjoy this interview with a true inspiration - a young man who has taken back his life and his power, and has found himself unstoppable. Enjoy! XO n.

As we continue to live in a world fraught with suffering, I am receiving many messages seeking guidance on how to move through this time with grace. We are rounding out two years of a global pandemic, and the war In Ukraine is a constant reminder of the fragility of the things we take for granted. Today I do my best to help soothe your heart and mind, with reminders of how we can take best care of ourselves when we have no control over the events that unfold around us. In mindbody work, Dr. Sarno often spoke of "soothe factors" as essential in buoying this necessary work we must do to be well. Today we talk about doing our very best to cultivate as many moments of "soothe" possible in our daily lives. Hang with me and let's do our best to center and ground. XOXO n.

We all have self limiting beliefs, and the most damaging part about them is that they are largely unconscious, operating in the background of our thinking, keeping us from our full potential. Today on the pod we examine some of the most widely held self limiting beliefs, and how yours might be keeping you stuck. Also, we delve into a bit of Dr. Kristin Neff's work on self compassion, and the ways in which this important practice can help us love ourselves into challenging some of these negative thought patterns.

I met Monica when I received the loveliest email about her pain journey. Monica had been suffering with chronic pain and symptoms for quite some time, and through her understanding of MindBody medicine and doing my work, she was thriving. As so often happens, Monica used the jumping off point of her own recovery to change her professional life as well. After training in somatic tracking and pain reprocessing, Monica now helps others move through their pain using the theories and methods we are always talking about on this pod! She's also an admin on my larger JournalSpeak online community (link below) and coming to spend time with us this summer at The Omega Institute June 23-28th to put all of this work into motion. I CANNOT WAIT! Today on the pod we talk about why somatic tracking works, and how to add it to your toolkit. So much great stuff here. Enjoy. XOOX n.

We must speak of the unspeakable, in every aspect of life. Passionately, boldly, bravely, unapologetically. This is the way we heal. There is no topic that feels more relevant to this imperative than pelvic pain. Although all chronic pain originates in the same place (the brain and nervous system's desire to protect us from our repressed emotions), when this process is being expressed through our pelvic area, it can be especially hard to talk about. When Whitney Rydman came on the pod as a "Real Time Heal" last year, she was still struggling with some level of pelvic pain, and her new symptom of fibromyalgia. I'l thrilled to share that today she is totally pain free and living a full and limitless life. Today we come together to discuss the details of her pelvic pain journey in the hopes of helping and guiding you through yours - even if your pain shows up elsewhere. The tools we discuss can work for everyone. Join us! My next VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

This month's Q&A in our Membership Community was SO inspiring and insightful. Each month this fellowship gets together to hang out in an intimate group and ask me anything about their TMS/symptoms/diagnoses/worries/fears and whatever else. This month was so GOOD. Join us for great info on topics such as health anxiety, neck and shoulder pain, vertigo, pelvic pain, classic Sarno back pain, and so much more. There are few things more powerful than being in community when you are doing this work. Today is a profound example. A couple pretty badass success stories too! Also today, an exciting announcement! The Sarno x Sachs Practitioner Training will launch April 29th!! Lisa and I have been working with Christina Sarno for over a year to compile the most effective and best practices to carry this TMS work into your professional and personal worlds.

We are so scared of self-loathing - I get messages and emails and comments all the time with concerns over how to handle this situation. Today we dive deep into the concept of self-loathing, and why tapping into it is such an important part of healing. We cannot heal something we can't see, and your JournalSpeak practice is the vehicle to seeing. Don't be scared. When we witness unpleasant things about ourselves, we are finally able to find self compassion. Today on the pod we discuss it all. Join us! Also, I'm excited to announce that the Curable App is once again officially sponsoring this podcast. Curable is such an incredible partner in my efforts to bringing healing to you all, and I'm so happy to include them in my offerings.

Shit! Sometimes all the best planning is not the best after all. I was traveling for two weeks and made a technical misstep - hence, no pod yesterday.

Today we are back with our popular REAL TIME HEAL series. Clara reached out last fall, struggling to overcome facial burning and pain diagnosed as Trigeminal Neuralgia. She had come a ways on her own, but was looking for guidance on how to take her healing to the next level. In hearing her story, I was stricken by the big feelings Clara had as a young child, and the anxiety that accompanied a trauma which launched her into perfectionism in order to manage her world. I relate so much!! This is the way many of us deal with the uncertainties in our lives. By the end, I feel confident that Clara has the insights and tools she needs to heal. Join us!

When I first met Gigi Cockell last year, I had no idea how impactful she would be on my life. I thought she would be yet another precious success story that I could highlight here on the pod, but she quickly became much more. Gigi has her Master's in Biology (she did her studies at Oxford and it shows) and is one of the best out there is explaining the brain science behind TMS. Soon Gigi was teaching beside Lisa and me at The Omega Institute (she'll be back this coming summer June 23-28!) and joining TCFCP Team as our in-house scientific expert. On April 28th from 10am-12pm PST Gigi and I will be co-hosting a TMS Brain Science Deep Dive live on Zoom, and in preparation for it I am replaying her original success story today! Gigi is SO articulate and intelligent, and her words will both educate and inspire you. Join us XO n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser COME TO THE BRAIN SCIENCE DEEP DIVE APRIL 28TH ON ZOOM!

Her understanding of TMS and my work have changed her life. Today, Alice is thriving in work and at home as a result of it.

There are some things that are more difficult to discuss than others - sensitive, vulnerable topics that don't get enough air as a result of the bravery it takes to discuss them. PGAD (Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder) is certainly one of them. Alongside myriad other pelvic conditions, PGAD is one I have been hearing about privately from people for years. Laura is the first to have reached out wanting to discuss it, and share her story. It's so important that we talk about the hard stuff, the quiet stuff, the stuff that makes us want to hide. Because here we are, bold and beautiful, living a human life. Enjoy this heart centered and healing conversation. XOOX n.

How great to connect with another Sarno OG! Karen, like me, sat across from Dr. Sarno in his iconic office at The Rusk Center for Rehabilitation at NYU/Langone in New York City back in the day when he was still in practice. His confident and unapologetic style was the inspiration for everything I do and teach, and Karen is right there with me. I have been hearing from Karen for years, as although Sarno was her intro to this work, she credits my contributions for taking her to the next level of wellness. Today we talk about her inspiring story, as well as dive into a bit of a Real Time Heal around her persistent symptoms of allergies and nasal congestion. Over the years (and in several interviews here on the pod) I've heard many people recount having terrible allergies only to connect them to TMS and have them resolve completely! It's such good stuff.

On my recent podcast with Gabby Bernstein (who is proudly and publicly sober and has been for years) I shared that I, too, am sober. For over 5 years. Since then, I have been receiving tons of emails asking me to dedicate a podcast to the topic, and today I decided to do so. I am further inspired to share, as I am concerned that this time of quarantine may leave more and more people susceptible to the allure of drowning their feelings and fears in substances, and I want to bring connection to this potential reality. I hope that my story can invite many of you to feel less alone. We do not have to live in the grips of alcohol, or any other substance, should we awaken to our choice not to. Also today I announce my LIVE REAL TIME HEAL EXPERIENCE ON INSTAGRAM with Liz Melani of @thepracticeco. On May 19th at 5:30pm EDT I will go LIVE on @thepracticeco profile on Instagram and do a totally unscripted therapy session with Liz about her story and her chronic pain. Similar to all the REAL TIME HEALS, this will be totally raw and fresh, but in addition it will be LIVE. Come join us. Follow me on instagram @nicolesachslcsw and The Practice Co @thepracticeco and experience this first ever moment. I think it will help so many, and Liz is bravely willing to show up and include you all. I'm very excited! Love and light to you, wherever this may find you. XOOX n.

Bri really went through it. Her myriad TMS symptoms cascaded into panic attacks so severe that she had to put her entire life on hold (including her marriage), take her kids, and move in with her mother to be taken care of. This is not an unusual story. As I always remind you, although TMS is completely curable with my methods, the pain IS NOT in your head. You are not dramatic, overly sensitive, or making it up. Bri was sidelined pretty severely before learning about Dr. Sarno, and then me. On that day, her life changed. Walk with us as we share an incredible and inspiring story of total chronic pain recovery. And Bri has some pretty great advice for all of us at the end. Sending you all so much love. This is hard work, but you can do it. You can be free. xx, n. COME TO OMEGA June 23-28th!!! Click here.

The ever popular REAL TIME HEAL series is back with a moving session with Sarita. Sarita has been stalled in her healing journey and needs a boost. Today we sit together for a totally unscripted and unedited real time session, where we discuss the impact of early childhood abandonment and how it informs our lifelong coping strategies. One the these strategies that lends itself to a great deal of emotional repression is the "mask" we feel we must wear to appear a certain way to others. We fear that if our true selves are revealed, we might be abandoned once again. (The irony of corona-land and masks is not lost on us!) Join me, and the brave and lovely Sarita as we examine her life, and get her back on track for continued healing. My first ever VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

Today in my Membership Community we had a great convo on so many TMS topics. It is the best best to be with this incredible group and get to know them - their struggles and their wins. On our call today we talked a lot about, "What hurts versus what hurts worse." This is a big theme when it comes to all areas of acceptance in recovery from chronic nervous system dysregulation (which causes most chronic illness we see in the world!) Join us for this and other stirring discussions on grief, acute injury and how to keep it from getting chronic, dealing with people who won't change, inner child work, and many other topics.

Hello my faves. Today on the pod we discuss the long history in my own life of people pleasing, and how it requires us to shut ourselves down to the point where we lose contact with who we are and what we need. The result of years of this behavior? Lots of pain and symptoms that are felt in our bodies, as our hearts simply have no more room to spare. Join me as we delve into exactly what people pleasing is, why we do it, and why it is so important to create a steam valve for the related feelings to be released. You may not be ready to change your people pleasing behaviors, which is fine, but there must be space for the YOU in your life, and I will help you make some.

I get so many questions about how to *actually* find a way into a self-compassion practice, and why it's so important. Today on the pod I give you my best thinking on the topic, how to pause and become aware, and why is essential to have self-compassion at top of mind. Until we disrupt our habitual thinking and consider the way we carry on in life, we are in danger of repeating old patterns again and again with no conscious knowledge. I am here to make sure you stay awake - it's the only place where healing is possible. Let me know what you think! www.speakpipe.com/nicolesachs XOXO much love!

There are so many of us who walk this path of healing, and we are a diverse group. Today on the pod I interview Meredith Carpenter, a molecular biologist and lifelong believer in the western medical model, on her journey from confusion and despair to surgery, openmindedness, willingness, and healing. Meredith originally contacted me for a REAL TIME HEAL months ago. By the time I read her submission and got in touch, she reported that she was already healed from doing the work on her own! What a joy to interview her anyway. Meredith and I were able to talk about many facets of the healing path, as well as thoughtfully broach and debate whether or not back surgery is necessary, and engage in the kind of discourse which allows for each opinion to be honored. I'm sure there will be tidbits of wisdom for every one of us! Enjoy XOOX n. My New IGTV Series, "I Am Evidence" is now on Instagram @nicolesachslcsw.

Evie came on the pod originally last year. Her story is one that inspired me deeply, as she recognized and overcame her chronic pain so young. As we open ourselves to the challenge of teaching younger and younger people, it is so important to realize that young and old - we are all the same when we wake up to this life changing knowledge and do the work to rid ourselves of chronic conditions.

I've aways loved the healing message of the Buddhist principle of the second arrow. The first arrow is unavoidable - our natural reaction to life. The second arrow is the way human beings perpetuate our own suffering - judgement of the first arrow, or expectations attached to it. Today we explore both! Join us, and perhaps find some peace around the ways in which life seems to be slinging arrows at us all the time. We have the power to make the whole process more gentle. XOOX n.

I never miss a chance to use my life and my process to help you. The best teaching tool I have is my own lived experience. Today I share an unexpected and painful symptom imperative I encountered: powerful nerve pain shooting from my inner wrist up my forearm. I paused immediately and began to embody the mindset that I teach you here - reminding myself it was TMS and that I was safe - and then proceeded to do the work with patience and kindness for myself. I think you will get many nuggets of truth and inspiration in this story. I hope you can apply them to your own journey. MUCH LOVE TO YOU! xoxo n.

Gabby Bernstein is an inspiration of the highest order - a person who not only seeks relentlessly to set herself free, but practices what she preaches with earnest willingness and passion. What a joy it was to connect with Gabby. I was originally introduced to Gabby's work in the days of my early sobriety when I read her book, The Universe Has Your Back, 5 years ago. It immediately resonated with me, as I knew intuitively that we were speaking the same language. In addition to changing my life personally, the story of her own TMS (which she didn't even know was TMS at the time!) showed me that my work was needed in this world, and encouraged me to get up every day and bring it to the global community. Today on the pod, Gabby and I sit down to discuss the ways in which her life has changed since discovering Dr. Sarno and my work, and the ways she can continue learning and growing. Gabby is more than a fellow spiritual teacher on this planet to me now - now I can call her a friend. How lucky I am.  XOOX enjoy... n. VIRTUAL MINI RETREATS ON SALE NOW.

Laura first came upon this work when she was in the depths of pelvic pain and desperate for a solution. As she moved through her process and embraced the mindset, JournalSpeak, and self-compassion necessary to reset her nervous system and heal, she had a pretty profound realization: The burning mouth and OCD that had both been completely traumatic and devastating in her past were also TMS! She was just trapped in the loop of the Symptom Imperative. Once Laura saw this pattern in hindsight, she was able to quickly circumvent this phenomenon after her pelvic pain left and anxiety/OCD offered her a hand. "No thanks!" Laura said, and her life has never been the same. Join us for a brave and enlightening conversation about the complex depths of OCD, the terror of burning mouth, and the struggle of pelvic pain only to reveal the same solution living beneath them all.

Hello my fellow shelterers in place! Welcome to the world of what the hell is going on. There are so many question marks in the world right now, but one certainty: we have time right now to figure out what's next for us. During a potentially stressful and frightening time, it might be tempting to retreat into our shells of fear, and choose to hold our breath and wish it to be over. But! We can also choose to encapsulate ourselves into a chrysalis of change and growth, taking this unique opportunity to make boldly healthy choices for ourselves despite natural, human resistance. Join me today for a conversation about this choice between mental and emotional "quarantine" versus "chrysalis", and how I am working it out in my own life. Perhaps you will be inspired to reexamine yours! Sending big love to you. XO be well. -n. VIRTUAL MINI RETREATS ON SALE NOW.

SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A STRUGGLING TEEN IN YOUR LIFE. Today we have something long overdue in the sense that we’ve been wanting to talk about it for a couple of years, but we knew we had to get it right when we did. Teenagers have never been our target audience, and it’s not because they don’t need these tools as much, and often more, than adults. I hear so often from concerned adults who badly want to help the young people in their lives get relief from chronic symptoms: Anxiety, migraines, stomach problems, and so many other struggles. Most of you listening already understand the relationship between perfectionism, achievement, self-criticism, and all the qualities we know are the breeding ground for TMS. So many teenagers find themselves in this debacle. But being a parent myself, I know you have to talk to teens differently - find them where they are, break through to them and build credibility in a different way. One night, Lisa and I were talking about all of this and her teenage daughter, Kate, got involved in the conversation. She broke the news: the only people teenagers will take their information from is other teenagers. We knew she was right. Not only is Kate an awesome communicator, she has her own TMS story. After a childhood of debilitating stomachaches that sidelined her in the most important areas of her life, the pain mysteriously ended (anyone who knows about the Symptom Imperative knows it wasn't mysterious) and she began struggling with anxiety and a feeling of being stuck. It was then that she began to JournalSpeak and saw, as she describes, "magical" changes in her life. She is now officially a member of TCFCP Team - our first teen ambassador. Today she comes on the pod for her debut interview, and we discuss it ALL. Spoiler - she's a JournalSpeak badass of the highest order. She will help you get right down to it, no matter your age. We discuss it all, as we embark upon the adventure of creating a message crafted by teens, for teens. Stay tuned to the pod in the coming weeks for an announcement of our very first Teen Virtual Retreat where real kids will be teaching your kids how this can change their lives and give them back their freedom, joy, and health. We are SO excited. TEENS - PLEASE leave us a message on SpeakPipe www.speakpipe.com/NicoleSachs and share your questions, stories, epiphanies, catharses, and anything else on your mind. You can also write to us at njsachs@thecureforchronicpain.com. We are going to help you. xoxo Nicole, Lisa, and Kate Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser PURCHASE LIVE FROM OMEGA (7 HOURS OF ORIGINAL TALKS!)

When I sat down first thing in the morning (my time) to chat across the pond with Adam Wight in the middle of his day, our tone of voices were just a bit more free than they might be now. It's interesting to think how quickly our days are changing! But we will all make it through, as we continue to actively choose love over fear. In today's episode, Adam and I delve into a lifetime of repressed emotions over his life with his mother, and the obvious and natural connection that has to his anxiety, digestive issues, and other TMS symptoms. Join us for an impactful and eye opening real time heal. Stay safe and connected out there, wherever this day finds you. Sending big love.. n. VIRTUAL MINI RETREATS ON SALE NOW.

We love getting Speakpipes from our community! Today we highlight one from Suzie in the UK who asks about what to do when physical symptoms morph into anxiety by way of the Symptom Imperative. Great question! This is such a common and natural occurrence, and it's a great opportunity to discuss exactly what's going on here, and what we can do to "wear it loosely" and manage this process with grace. I am THRILLED that Suzie's Migraines and Psoriasis are gone. That is something to really celebrate. Let's never miss an opportunity to marvel at this incredible work and the power it has to heal us. Now to deal with this pesky anxiety  - join us for a great reminder that we are safer than we think. Let's engage the tools to convince our nervous systems of such!

Hello my fam. Wow - we are living in unprecedented times for sure. Today I decided to depart from my usual advice-giving guidance and provide an opportunity for soothe and pause. Dr. Sarno spoke often of soothe factors - things we could do that either lit up our minds or fed our souls, that had nothing to do with the urgency of healing (or in this case, Coronavirus). On today's pod, I present soothe factors in 3 acts: A reading of a thought provoking piece of writing, a joke, and a young girl's attempt at her version of a beautiful song as she teaches herself the ukulele. I hope you enjoy it, and it allows you to take a break from your own brain for a moment. Sending big love from me to you.. n.

WOW. What a great episode. Phil de la Haye is back with his in-depth teaching of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Today we follow up on our previous episode to really deepen your understanding of this amazing transformation work. I am planning to do it myself. Although there are no bad parts (!) there are a lot of really protective aspects of our personalities that contribute greatly to TMS. Join us today as we discuss the many ways to know ourselves, and walk through concrete exercises that really move the needle. xoxo n. As promised in the ep, here are the questions we posed to the protective part when  journalling after a target part has been identified: (Go slow, pause, close your eyes and wait to see if an answer arises. Try and make it a gentle inquiry rather than an inquisition). What do you want me to know about you? What else? (you can ask this as many times as you like) How are you trying to help me? what is your job/role? Are there parts of my body where you hang out? When did you take on this job? What was going on for me back then? How old are you? How old do you think I am? Do you like your job? If yes: is there a downside to it? Is what you’re doing working? What are you afraid would happen if you stopped doing this? Are you willing to tell me about the part/s you’re protecting? What do you need from me? How can I collaborate with you? Do other parts give you a hard time? Do other people give you a hard time? Is there anything else you want me to know about you and what you do for me?

Cecilia grew up in a big and loving family. The only issue, though, was that the family's story was marked with striking trauma. Little Cecilia, in the wake of the turbulent events, intuitively knew that the best thing she could do for her struggling parents was to stay "quiet and convenient". As a grown woman, events unfolded that left Cecelia in terrible, widespread chronic pain that had her nearly housebound. Join us for a story of tragedy, love, despair and finally, triumph. As so many people tell me, Cecelia expresses tearfully that she is now grateful for the pain - after all, it delivered her here to share this brilliant story with us all. XOXO n.

After receiving hundreds of emails regarding how to emotionally handle this global issue, I decided to dedicate the pod today to the Coronavirus and how we can keep ourselves in the best space, mind body and spirit. Remember that fear and worry are simply information which inform us of the next, right, considered action to take. After that, they begin to steal from us and make us even more susceptible to illness.

Per usual, these Real Time Heals are incredible. Anna's pain started when she was pregnant, which makes sense as it is a time of such big feelings! Yet as she continued to go from doctor to doctor in fear, it persisted and worsened. After several failed expensive treatment experiences and a nightmare medication moment, Anna decided to shift her mindset and try something new. Join us for an eye opening session where we get to the bottom of what is keeping Anna stuck: toxic perfectionism and her struggle with belief. So many gold nuggets in this one - join us! I obviously can't do a Real Time Heal with everyone, so if you want to jumpstart your healing in ways you hadn't thought possible, please come learn with me at 1440 Multiversity in April, the 5th-10th. I wish I had adequate words for the way I watch lives change at these live experiences. Give yourself this gift and let's get you on track!
