In this raw and revealing conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Nicole Sachs, a psychotherapist and pioneer in chronic pain recovery, to explore how emotional wounds can manifest as physical symptoms. We both open up about our healing journeys—mine with TMJ and trauma recovery, and hers with debilitating back pain—and how the practice of JournalSpeak became a path to lasting relief.
Together, we shine a light on the emotional root of chronic pain—and the simple, powerful tools that can help you begin to release it.
What You’ll Learn:
- What JournalSpeak is and how to use it
- How repressed emotions can turn into chronic pain
- Why healing doesn’t require “fixing” your life
- How I worked through TMJ and trauma using this method
- The connection between self-compassion and physical freedom
- Why the nervous system interprets urgency as fear—and how to interrupt the cycle
