Today I sit down with Phil De La Haye for an IFS session on...me! Phil de la Haye is a Certified IFS Therapist, Counsellor, and SIRPA Practitioner. He has a particular interest in the way that stress and trauma impact the nervous system, and how this can affect our physical body as well as our mental health. 

As a transgender and queer clinician, Phil does a lot of work with queer and gender diverse clients. He is also an advocate for the trans and LGBTQ+ community. Phil is a long term JournalSpeaker, and he’s been involved in my online community since 2020 when he began his own recovery from many years of chronic symptoms. Enjoy!

Phil’s 1:1 therapy practice is currently full, but he runs regular workshops about how to use IFS in your own self-healing work. He has also just started to provide some short-term IFS therapy groups.

The best way to find out about Phil’s offerings is by signing up to his newsletter through his website at www.phildelahaye.com or by joining his Facebook Community: Phil de la Haye: IFS and Mindbody Healing.

I can't overstate how many emails I get about Long Covid and the alarming symptoms associated with it - Brain fog and Chronic Fatigue among many others. No case exemplifies these concerns like Gary's. When this episode first aired, Gary was overwhelmed with gratitude for having TOTALLY recovered from Long Covid which wreaked havoc on his life. Today he is still 100% well. If you haven't heard this one, or even if you simply haven't heard it in a while, tune in for Gary's astonishing story. If there's any episode to stoke belief in and dedication to the process, it's this one. No matter who you are or however this finds you, allow Gary to be an inspiration to commit to this work and see yourself through. This is your life, and you are worth it. xoxo n.

When Jonah Primo, host of the in-app podcast Work in Progress on the WAKING UP app contacted us, Lisa and I were elated. We are long time fans of WAKING UP and its founder, neuroscientist Sam Harris, and we were enthusiastic about sharing space with such a like-minded person. But that was just the beginning. Jonah's own pain story was stunning, and we quickly jumped on the chance to have him on our podcast to tell his tale of complete despair to recovery using the mindset and tools of MindBody medicine. After being a totally health and athletic 27-year-old, Jonah found himself so swallowed by a laundry list of symptoms that he quite literally struggled to walk. As he became skeptical of the medical model to cure his pain, he turned in our direction and the rest is history. Join us for a striking tale of recovery from some of the most common (yet most terrifying) symptoms we hear about - vertigo, migraines, anxiety, and the dreaded Long Covid. I know you will get so much out of what we discuss. Much love! xoxo 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.

The way I found Manon (and she found me!) is nothing short of amazing. After suffering with persistent headaches for weeks on end, Manon was at a breaking point. Although she was relieved that the expensive brain scan had come back negative, the panic and suffering the headaches brought was too much for her to bear. Manon was not sure she could go on living. Typing "chronic pain" into her podcast search, she came across this very show, and for the first time in a long while allowed herself to have hope. But her story does not end there! It has a fun twist that even made it into my upcoming book, MIND YOUR BODY. Join us as we tell the whole tale, complete with a reading from Chapter Two that gives you a peek into the magic and the lesson on brain science that followed. XOOX n.

Each month, Lisa and I run a Boot Camp for our BreakAwake members. We jump onto our private online community and ask, "What is everybody interested in learning more about?" And they weigh in. We take everyone’s questions and show up LIVE once a month where we can be together and tackle the most important topics that span the healing journey. Today on the pod, we share with you one of those sessions. The topic: one of the most frequently visited - a JournalSpeak deep dive. Join us as we answer the kind of questions that may be brewing in your own mind right now. "Am I doing this right? How can I go deeper? What is stopping me from showing up to the page?" And many, many more. Love hanging out with you guys..XO Much love! -n.

Dr. Yonit Arthur is an audiologist who is helping people climb out of their chronic tinnitus, vestibular migraine, vertigo, and other related conditions by sharing a message that you have come to know well: NOTHING IS STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH YOU. This is not to say that she isn't totally empathic and kind in her communication. It is just to say that, like me, she is frustrated with the medical model and the way patients are not getting better. We share a similar passion for carrying this hope of recovery. If you or anyone you love has ever been diagnosed with ay of these conditions or related concerns, please give this episode a listen. It could be the first step in profoundly changing a life. Sending big love from us both! XOOX n.

Scotty's symptom list is so long I'm not sure I can remember it all to include here, but let's give it a try: back, neck, foot, leg, arm, wrist pain, "tennis elbow," pelvic and groin pain, anxiety, panic, depression, dissociation, tooth sensitivity, burning mouth, and post viral infection symptoms. When you listen, you'll hear the whole thing from his mouth! It may sound unusual, but often in the rearview mirror we end up identifying a lifetime of TMS that has plagued us and led us to live in fear. As I always advise, Scotty took the medical route for each of these diagnoses, but found himself despairing with no enduring solutions. When he finally came upon the work of Dr. Sarno, the game began to change. When he found my work via a YouTube interview I gave, everything started to make sense. Join us today for a conversation with someone who REALLY talks and talk and walks the walk. Loved connecting with Scotty and dropping so many moments of truth. You're sure to be motivated to keep going. Lots of love to everyone out there. It takes willingness and intention, but this work can change your life. XOOX n.

When symptoms move through me, the first place I want to discuss it is here on this podcast. This week I have had some pain, and my JournalSpeak revealed some interesting patterns in my life that it may be time to challenge. I have always had an innate desire to control things, people, situations... am I alone? When I am unable to do so, sometimes my body clocks the danger. Yet, when I reflect on these impulses, I have to admit - I'm not so sure if they are "working." Today I invite you into my heart and mind. Hopefully my insights will shed some light on your own stuck places. Sending big love! xoxo n.
