About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Does it feel like your body is failing you? It doesn't have to be this way.

The thread that binds us is chronic pain, and conditions that limit us in countless ways. We live a shadow life, isolated by our pain. This struggle impacts our confidence at work, in our relationships, and leaves us vulnerable to depression. You may have tried different drugs, surgeries, alternative and holistic procedures, hoping to find a hint of relief. Too often, that relief doesn’t come.

In Mind Your Body, psychotherapist Nicole Sachs shows us a new way of understanding and tackling chronic pain by nurturing your mind–body connection. With compassionate guidance, she helps us to understand that pain is an invitation to recognise the inner truths that have been waiting for our acknowledgement.

In this groundbreaking book, Nicole Sachs explores the emotional depth of pain, by exploring common mini traumas such as shame, grief, suppressed emotions and unresolved issues. Through practical tools, journal prompts and self-inquiry, she offers us deeply healing ways to truly understand our body-mind, get to the bottom of our chronic condition and live life to the full once more.

Critic Reviews

Nicole Sachs deeply understands the connection between trauma, the body and chronic illness, and her transformative program can help anyone suffering from chronic pain live a better life. (ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, founder & CEO, Thrive Global)
When faced with chronic symptoms, I personally applied Nicole’s insights to unveil my path to healing. This book serves as a transformative road map, offering actionable steps that promise liberation and empowerment. (GABBY BERNSTEIN, #1 New York Times bestselling author)
The work I did with Nicole has been life-changing. When three separate back sur­geries didn’t resolve my pain, Nicole’s work on nervous system regulation and her explanation of the mind-body connection opened a whole new world. I went from chronic and debilitating back pain to complete freedom, on and off the court. I can’t thank her enough. (MICHAEL PORTER JR., Denver Nuggets)
Nicole unmasks our people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and ‘niceness,’ and shows us precisely how to finally properly listen . . . and heal. (ELISE LOEHNEN, New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior and host of the podcast Pulling the Thread)

This book has been life changing for me. I’ve been battling with chronic pain in many forms for years, decades really. I finally reached rock bottom with one more diagnosis without a cure and that led me to seek out an alternative.
I came across Nicole through the Curable App and now believe all my symptoms are TMS (driven by my repressed emotions) and am doing the JournalSpeak work. Already I can see and feel a difference. It’s is astounding.
This book is so accessible, so practical, so inspiring and makes change so achievable. I know things can be different and I know what I can do to make that process happen.
Thank you Nicole.

Inspiring, practical and gave me hope

After reading Nicole’s book, I feel so seen. Everything she describes is my life & it means so much to me that she and many others in the book understand the mind-body realm in such great depth. I’ve already seen improvements in my symptoms and am hopeful of how much better I can feel in the future🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Such a treasure!!

ive been following Nicoles podcast for a while and was excited to listen to this book. It did not disappoint. So easy to understand, full of research and real life stories, Nicole unpacks her simple approach to tackling chronic pain while maintaining a sense of authenticity, authority, confidence, empathy and all with her fun loving style (swearing makes it so relatable!!). I am recommending to many friends, students and colleagues. Thanks Nicole for your passion and commitment to sharing this work...it is so needed in a highly biomedical and reactive world. Oh yeah, and the technique actually works...recovered from 30+ years of chronic back pain. I am loving and so grateful for my journalspeak practice. xx

this IS the way forward if you live with chronic pain
