    5 stars for getting me out of pain

    3 stars overall

    Excellent content. I just wish when Nicole was interviewing someone that she would let them talk instead of interrupting. It seems she uses conversations with guests as a launching point for her to say what she wants to say rather than listening, attuning, and asking good questions. Besides Nicole, I don’t think I’ve ever heard an interviewer talk as much as their guest. Maybe she could take notes during the interv... more

  • Thank you Nicole and all guests

    I’m currently listening to an episode from the vault and I’m floored by how much it resonates. I found Nicole (and podcast and book) only recently, and feel so hopeful. This feels like the real deal. I am halfway through the book, but tonight as I listen to this particular episode about a woman named Mariel in 2021, I’m like “that’s me too”. Currently awaiting second round of MRI results for my knee…. I don’t even want to look at the results, I don’t know what will happen but I’m grateful to Nic... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How People Pleasing, Codependency, and Perfectionism Keep the Nervous System Stuck with Béa Albina
Q: What is the path to awareness and what comes after waking up to these patterns?
Begin with pause, interoception, and somatic awareness to identify unconscious patterns, then use body-based practices and journaling to translate sensations into language your system can act on, followed by boundary-setting and small, concrete actions.
Nicole Sachs on The Jordan Harbinger Show: Chronic Pain, MindBody Healing, and the Questions Skeptics Are Right to Ask
Q: You mentioned pain meds don't work for chronic pain; can you explain why and what alternatives you recommend?
Chronic pain is driven by a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, not just tissue injury; medications may mask symptoms but don't address the underlying dysregulation. Sachs advocates mind-body approaches, journaling to process emotions, and neurobiological understanding to reduce symptom firing.
From the Vault: Chronic Lyme, Mold Toxicity, Severe IBS, and more with Suzanne
Q: And how did you turn the corner into this mind-body work?
She explains the turning point came through exposure to mind-body concepts via podcasts and journal-based practices, recognizing that relief began when the nervous system could feel safe and regulated, and that the breakthrough required consistent application of JournalSpeak and related techniques even through setbacks.
From the Vault: Chronic Lyme, Mold Toxicity, Severe IBS, and more with Suzanne
Q: So wait, before I let you go on Suzanne, I want you to tell people and me, what exactly were your symptoms?
Suzanne describes a wide-ranging set of symptoms affecting every body system, with particularly debilitating gut issues (IBS), neurological symptoms, skin problems, and weight fluctuations, all contributing to years of distress before the mind-body framework offered a new way to understand and approach them.
Neuroplastic Pain, TMS, and the Science of Unlearning Chronic Symptoms with Dr. Howard Schubiner
Q: What was the pushback like when you started implementing mind-body approaches in a conventional medical environment?
There was skepticism and resistance, as many doctors were trained in traditional biomedical models. Over time, as data accumulated and research in mind-body therapies grew—especially with PRT and EAAT—these approaches started gaining traction in CME and medical literature, though the acceptance is gradual.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This show consistently explores mind-body approaches to chronic pain, trauma, and health challenges, with a strong emphasis on neuroplasticity, journaling (JournalSpeak), radical self-compassion, and practical strategies to reduce fear and reframe symptoms.
