Nicole J. Sachs

Nicole J. Sachs, LCSW, is a psychotherapist and speaker who specializes in the treatment of chronic pain. She is the founder of "The Cure for Chronic Pain" community and podcast. Sachs builds on the work of Dr. John Sarno, theorizing that much physical pain is actually "TMS" (Tension Myositis Syndrome), a physical manifestation of repressed emotional stress.\n\nShe is the author of The Meaning of Truth: Embrace Your Truth, Create Your Life. Sachs argues that the brain creates pain as a distraction from dangerous emotions like rage and grief. She developed a practice called "JournalSpeak"—a raw, unfiltered form of expressive writing designed to release this repressed energy. Her work offers a drug-free path to healing for those suffering from conditions like back pain, migraines, and fibromyalgia.
