Mind Your Body

Learn how to free yourself from chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, and myriad debilitating conditions through the transformative process of nervous system regulation in this accessible guide from psychotherapist and leading mind-body clinician Nicole Sachs

At a time when chronic pain and other conditions have reached epidemic proportions, and the medical model is coming up short for so many, Mind Your Body shares the evidence-based practices that can help deliver readers from hopelessness to freedom. Most people who come to Nicole Sachs have exhausted all other paths to cope with their chronic back pain, IBS, sciatica, pelvic pain, long COVID, migraines, nerve inflammation, skin conditions, panic disorders, and many more. Maybe they’re considering surgery or other interventions, with no real promise of a cure, or maybe the surgeries and treatments they’ve already endeavored have come up short and they are desperate for relief.
    Sachs knows that these kinds of syndromes are often not caused by a physical source. Rather, they are fueled by trauma responses associated with deeply rooted psychological and emotional triggers that send the brain and the nervous system into fight or flight.
    In Mind Your Body, Sachs teaches readers about mind-body medicine—which helped her overcome her own debilitating pain and dark prognosis—and how to turn inward using her revolutionary JournalSpeak practice, which has helped countless clients achieve striking mental, emotional, and physical healing. Sachs knows that alleviating pain often resides in understanding that one’s stress, repressed emotions, unresolved trauma, and smaller daily frustrations are causing nervous system dysregulation. The solution lies in rewiring the body’s misguided reflex to protect us with pain.
