In this episode, we welcome back the amazing Nicole Sachs to dive deeper into the connections of the mind-body-soul system. A powerhouse in the world of TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), Nicole has been teaching and leading retreats for years after being mentored by Dr. Sarno himself, who coined the diagnosis after working with many patients suffering from psychosomatic conditions that caused physical symptoms. In addition to her amazing work on her own retreats, Nicole will also be one of our fantastic guest teachers at the upcoming Out of the Cave and Into Your Power retreat in San Diego this September. Find info on how to get your ticket below!

Topics include:

[6:50] The relationship between disordered eating and chronic pain. How our struggles with food and body image relate to chronic pain, TMS, and the mind-body-soul system.

[15:26] The importance of pausing. Becoming more present and conscious in your daily life, moving from desire for change into taking action.

[23:37] An epidemic of fear, not an epidemic of pain. How our body uses pain to distract from the emotions that seem unsafe to feel. How to break that cycle and find freedom.

[34:41] Allowing ourselves to just look at and accept the way our brain reacts to the situations that scare us without letting it control our decisions. Nicole explores her personal experience in the journey to freedom from the struggle with food and body.

[47:51] Trying to manipulate our physical body in order to see a change in our emotional or mental journey, fixating on smallness or flexibility or strength in our physical body in trying to achieve those goals for our psyche.
