Show by Thomas Nelson

Tom interviews therapist and author Nicole Sachs about recovering from severe back pain diagnosed at 19 as degenerative spondylolisthesis. After learning surgery wouldn’t guarantee pain relief, she discovered Dr. John Sarno’s TMS model: chronic symptoms can stem from nervous-system dysregulation driven by repressed emotions and trauma. Sachs describes her work helping people worldwide, including Michael Porter Jr. and Steve Kerr, emphasizing three pillars: belief in brain science, doing “JournalSpeak” to make the unconscious conscious, and self-compassion. She explains symptoms as an “alarm,” not the “fire,” urges curiosity over fear, and directs listeners to resources at nicolesachs.com.00:00 Meet Nicole Sachs00:44 Back Pain Diagnosis Shock03:03 Surgery Doubts Spark Curiosity05:01 Discovering Sarno TMS07:15 Recovery Stories Proof09:47 Sarno Visit Trash Can15:17 Growing Reach Younger Fans20:39 Steve Kerr Turnaround23:35 Pain Despair Hope26:54 Mind Body Basics Explained34:50 Fire Alarm Analogy39:12 JournalSpeak Breakthrough46:33 How To Start Today47:19 Closing Curiosity Messagehttps://www.yourbreakawake.com/https://www.youtube.com/@thecureforchronicpain=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
