    Nicole Sachs has taken John Sarno’s work to another level for me. These podcasts are so helpful and illuminating for working through chronic pain and symptoms. Her 28 day challenge outlined in her book Mind your Body has also been life changing. Thank you Nicole!

It may not be a quick fix, but it will make a lasting change in your life and leave you a happier, healthier person. I know this, because I’ve been experiencing it for the past months.

    Nicole has a voice that speaks to me! Her knowledge and delivery of this mind body connection information is by far the only reason I no longer suffer from chronic neck, back, and arm pain. A million thank yous for Nicole sharing this on a free podcast!

CRPS Recovery: From Bedridden to Dancing Again with JournalSpeak
Q: Do you have any advice for people out there who are suffering?
Iida advises trying the journaling work, saying people can get better through it and have nothing to lose by giving it a try.
CRPS Recovery: From Bedridden to Dancing Again with JournalSpeak
Q: What in the work or message made you say, “this is what is wrong with me”?
Iida says Sachs's discussion of repressed feelings resonated because she knew she had unresolved issues, and JournalSpeak gave her hope.
Severe Chronic Migraine and Facial Pain: Natalie’s Remarkable Recovery After Nothing Worked
Q: Why don't you actually share a little bit about that? Because I think one of the most striking things about your recovery, Natalie, is the fact that you are recovered after what you went through and you're completely recovered. So, yeah, not too much. But tell us a little bit about Africa.
Natalie recounts traveling to Africa for treatment, receiving repeated injections into her head and mouth, and undergoing two surgeries that did not relieve her pain.
Severe Chronic Migraine and Facial Pain: Natalie’s Remarkable Recovery After Nothing Worked
Q: So Natalie, wherever you want to start, people are always open to hearing a story of recovery and really needing it. So go ahead.
Natalie describes the onset of severe head and facial pain, repeated medical investigations and treatments, and the effect on her education and daily life.
Tinnitus, Vertigo, and Vestibular Migraine: A New Perspective on Recovery with Dr. Yo
Q: The dizziness, the vertigo, I know it's very unmooring. Is the answer as simple as it's just boring TMS and you just have to wear it loosely and treat it the same?
Arthur says the same neuroplastic approach can apply, but dizziness may need more repetition because its disorienting sensations can repeatedly trigger intense anxiety. She also says recovery may involve addressing a person's relationship with themselves, others, and life stressors.
