Nicole sachs, LCSW
Nicole Sachs, LCSW is a speaker, writer, podcaster and psychotherapist who has dedicated her work and her practice to the treatment of chronic pain, symptoms, syndromes and conditions. She is a faculty instructor at the OMEGA Institute and The Art of Living Retreat Center and more. Nicole’s book, The Meaning of Truth and her online course FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN are guiding hundreds of thousands around the world to lives of complete freedom. Her brand, The Cure for Chronic Pain, includes a Website, YouTube Channel, and Podcast which has over 5 Million downloads worldwide. Her personal experience as well as work with thousands of people around the world have shaped and evolved Nicole’s theories, which serve to teach those suffering how to heal themselves completely with no medication or surgery.
Based originally off the work of Dr. John Sarno (Nicole is a direct disciple), her programs involve using a unique personal narrative called JournalSpeak to rewire neural pathways that cause chronic symptoms, and inform our misguided brains that we don’t need pain syndromes in order to distract us from our repressed trauma and emotions. Once the emotions are given a “steam valve,” the mind/body system is able to find equilibrium, moving from fight or flight to rest and repair, and symptoms dissolve. Her work is powerful and life altering, not only for the cessation of pain, but also for a whole new freedom for living.
Nicole’s passion, expertise, and personal story draw people in from the moment she speaks, as she invites them to take back their lives with renewed energy and strength. Chronic pain is but an entry point, inviting us to the precipice of truth which has been awaiting our acknowledgement. Nicole serves as a sage guide and a spirited cheerleader, igniting the willingness in each of us to seek more out of life, and reclaim personal power as never before.
“I personally credit Nicole with saving my life. I was suffering from both physical pain and crippling anxiety, and doing Nicole’s work and online program have profoundly changed the way I experience life. I had absolutely no idea this work was available to me. It is my deepest hope that everyone reading this wakes up, takes back their power, and lives the life they’ve only dreamed of. I am immensely grateful Nicole’s teachings came into my life, allowing me to do just that. The life you save is your own. I am living proof!” Natalie B. Los Angeles, CA.
My Invitation to you…
I AM A THERAPIST.
I am more than that. I am a mother, a partner, a really good friend, a saver and a fixer. I am really needy sometimes. I am vulnerable and raw, then embarrassed that I let myself be seen. I am strong and stubborn more than necessary. I’m so in love with love, it has hurt me. I’m so in love with love, it has saved me. I try too hard. I am obsessed with my children’s happiness. I am overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood. I am fueled by admiration. I am lifted by people brave enough to say they are not brave. At times I wish everyone would just leave me alone. I am full of gratitude. I am scared I will never be good enough. I am eternally hopeful.
I am a human being. So are you.
When you feel resistance, try to be curious enough to listen to me. When you feel stuck and exhausted, know that I am here with you. When you find it impossible to believe what I propose, just fake it until you feel it. When you need inspiration, I will tell you my story another time. Or somebody else’s who is generous enough to join us. I will remind you that I am human just like you, right by your side. I am no better because I am sitting on this side of the couch. Once you “get” what I’m telling you, our positions could be easily reversed.
Take solace in that.
Come along on this journey. Live a life of truth. Release your pain. Imagine that you have a choice. Suspend your disbelief. Consider that your burden could be lighter, even if the details of your life remain exactly the same. Stop tolerating discontent, misery, helplessness, resignation. Let go of the giving up. If you can’t do it for you, start by doing it for me. It won’t be long before you are doing it for both of us.
When I ask you to be thoughtful about something, consider that the life you save is your own. When I ask you to tell me your darkest most raw primitive truths, realize that you are most importantly speaking to yourself. No one else needs to hear. But YOU do.
The life you save is your own. (Did I say that already?) The world will not come crashing down. You will not drown.
You will breathe.
