Summary

Learn how to free yourself from chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue and illness in this accessible and compassionate guide from acclaimed psychotherapist and leading mind-body clinician Nicole Sachs.

Does it feel like your body is failing you?
Does it feel like you've tried everything for your chronic pain, yet nothing seems to work?

It doesn't have to be this way.

In Mind Your Body, Nicole Sachs shows us a new way of understanding and tackling chronic pain by nurturing your mind–body connection. Covering how chronic pain and other persistent conditions can be influenced by the brain's response to stress, Sachs offers us deeply healing ways to truly understand the connection between your emotional wellbeing and physical symptoms.

Through practical, evidence-based techniques, she also explains the essential practice of turning inward, using her revolutionary JournalSpeak method, which has enabled countless people to achieve striking mental, emotional, and physical healing.

Inside you'll discover:

  • A clear introduction to the science behind the mind-body connection and nervous system regulation
  • Insight into how stress, trauma responses and suppressed emotions may contribute to chronic symptoms
  • Practical exercises, journal prompts and self-reflection techniques to support emotional and physical wellbeing
  • A compassionate framework for approaching chronic pain recovery with greater confidence and hope


Whether you're living with chronic back pain, sciatica, IBS, pelvic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, long COVID, anxiety, panic attacks, nerve pain, skin conditions or other persistent symptoms, this accessible guide provides tools to help you move beyond fear and towards lasting change.

Practical, compassionate, and grounded in evidence, Mind Your Body offers an empowering approach for anyone seeking to understand the deeper drivers of chronic pain and reclaim a fuller, healthier life.

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)
Filled with detailed accounts of how stressful events shape the pain we experience in our bodies and anxiety in our emotional landscapes, we learn how strengthening mental skills of attention, awareness, and self-compassion can transform our suffer­ing, as we shift from merely surviving to thriving in a new life of freedom and choice. (DANIEL SIEGEL, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller Aware)

This is essential reading for anyone ready to break free from suffering and embrace true wellness. (DR SCOTT LYONS, founder of The Embody Lab)
While the young mind is filled with potential, it also stores the seedlings of chronic pain. Nicole Sachs is on a mission to help us understand the brain’s power to connect emotional experiences with physical responses, so that pain becomes surmountable. Her deep conviction and crystal clarity are life-changing, literally. This is a must read not just for people managing chronic pain but also for the healthcare providers eager to help them.

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

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
