Narrado por: Nicole J. Sachs LCSW, John Stracks MD

Learn how to free yourself from chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, and myriad debilitating conditions through the transformative process of nervous system regulation in this accessible guide from psychotherapist and leading Mindbody clinician Nicole Sachs.

At a time when chronic pain and other conditions have reached epidemic proportions, and the medical model is coming up short for so many of us, Mind Your Body shares the evidence-based practices that can help deliver listeners from hopelessness to freedom. Most people who come to Nicole Sachs have exhausted all other paths to cope with their chronic back and bodily pain, IBS, sciatica, pelvic pain, long COVID, migraines, fibromyalgia, nerve inflammation, skin conditions, anxiety and panic disorders, and many more health conditions. Maybe they’re considering surgery or other interventions, with no real promise of a cure, or maybe the surgeries and treatments they’ve already attempted have proved disappointing and they are desperate for relief.

Sachs knows that these kinds of syndromes often don’t originate from a physical source. Rather, they are fueled by trauma responses associated with deeply rooted psychological and emotional triggers that send the brain and the nervous system into fight or flight.

In Mind Your Body, Sachs teaches listeners about Mindbody medicine—which helped her overcome her own debilitating pain and dark prognosis. She explains the essential practice of turning inward, using her revolutionary JournalSpeak method, which has enabled countless people to achieve striking mental, emotional, and physical healing. Mind Your Body takes chronic pain recovery into its next stage, for a new generation of listeners who have been so underserved by our medical system.

unlock your superpower

I have been following Nicole Sachs' podcast since July and started doing the work back then. I no longer have chronic pain. This book is a step by step on how to do that. Nicole took everything she has been teaching for 20+ years and put it into this easy to read/listen to book. Do yourself a favor and read this book!!

Nicole takes you on journey of healing

Nicole is so easy to listen to. I have loved her podcast for years. She helped me cure myself of chronic headaches, shoulder pain & knee pain. Could not recommend more to anyone who really is looking for a cure for chronic pain.

This book will change your life!

When I first learned about the concepts of mindbody medicine and TMS, I approached them with a healthy skepticism. I did some research and found that there's a ton scientific evidence to support these concepts. But the real proof came when I started doing the work and experiencing the results.

Nicole Sachs is THE expert when it comes to this stuff. There are many good books on this topic, but Mind Your Body is, by far, the single best source of everything you need to know to start healing.

The ideas in this book are beneficial to everyone. This is life changing stuff. This is not "alternative medicine", it's real science-based medicine that urgently needs to be integrated into our Western medical model.

I especially love the audiobook version of Mind Your Body because it is read by Nicole. Her confidence and her desire to help people can be heard in her voice throughout the entire book.

Life Changing

There are no other words that I can use to properly describe this book besides LIFE CHANGING. Thank you Nicole!

My security blanket

Thank you Nicole for changing my life and holding my hand through all of this. You truly do such amazing work.

Life changing

Very relatable and eye opening. May have to listen twice. Appreciate Nicole making this book so easy to understand.

Hope is here!

If you suffer from chronic pain and don’t know where to turn, start here! If you believe that your chronic pain is a life sentence, please listen to this book. Nicole explains in a way that we can all understand. Grab your hope!

a practical solution to guaranteed recovery

i can’t express how important this book is for anyone experiencing physical or emotion distress/pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and told i would be in chronic pain forever, with no solution but medications that did more harm than any good, and empty suggestions to cope w stress. This book, this work, in just 4 months, i no longer suffer from debilitating foot pain, stomach issues, chronic fatigue, and so much more. I don’t consider myself trapped by my diagnosis or my symptoms, it’s everything. Please give yourself the gift of listening to this book and hearing the real testimonies of so many people who no longer suffer after decades of debilitating pain and anxiety.

She saved my life

Haven’t finished but the least I could do to support her I had CFS ME/ post viral fatigue/ long covid

And a month and a half after listening to her podcast I was 100%

This books seems like it is a distilled practical step by step process to do the work to overcome chronic conditions

Much of what is in the book is in her podcast, but it is scattered around

A more clean, concise version is this book

This work is a life saver!

I’ve been doing Nichole’s work for a few years, and have had so much improvement. I have been stuck though, this book really helped me break through on the inner child work that my body has been screaming for me to do. It was also such a reminder that polite journaling does not work. This book was such a reminder on how to journal speak. I can’t recommend it enough.
