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 readers 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 readers 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 readers who have been so underserved by our medical system.

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!

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!!

Hope for healing

What an inspiring and wonderful book full of positive information that I will now use going forward

This knowledge saved my life - do not dismiss this!!

This book is world class!!! In 2016 I was bedridden at 40 years old due to what I was told spinal stenosis, sciatica, scoliosis, and 3 hearniated discs. Mind you, I was a fit gym owner with an MS in Exercise Science and it was 6 months after my dad tragically died. It seemed to come out of nowhere. Because I owned the town gym I had access to 7 different therapies with doctors, PT's, Airrosti, and even went to a flipping shaman. It became so bad I couldn't go from sitting to standing without screaming and couldn't ride in a car. This was the worst pain imaginable and I used to just lay on the floor of my living room and cry wondering if I would ever be able to sit up again.

One day I randomly saw a 20 second ad on YouTube about TMS and Dr John Sarno. At this point it had been 6 months of trying literally everything and being let down, so I listened to his short book Healing Back Pain.

Before I was even done with the book I felt less pain, this is no exaggeration!! I listened to it probably ten times and started keeping a rage journal. Within a couple days I drove my CAR!!!! Nobody ever listens to me when I share this story, they think it's all hippiedippie woo woo but to this day I have had no back pain ever. Guys, even my foot and thigh was numb before this knowledge.

Here we are nearly ten years later and I've been dealing with hiatal hernia pain for 4 years now. Somehow, Nicole ended up in my radar and I started hearing her podcast. Within a few days I no longer have a single hernia symptom because I made the connection that DUH!!! It's TMS! I've been symptom free since, back to my journaling.

I devoured her new book in a straight listen and I feel this should be mandatory reading for every human. This stuff is so so real. I know so many around me would rather suffer in pain than believe they have any personal influence over the issue, but it's a choice to open your mind to a new way of thinking.

Do not walk to get this book, RUN. It's harder to live life in pain than it is to journal the ugly dark parts of you that your brain is trying to protect you from.


This book will change your life.

Profound healing

Nicole Sachs is the real deal. Her methods truly work. I’ve been following her for years and I’ve been thrilled to listen to this book, get reminded of the basics, and deepen my knowledge. If you’re struggling in chronic pain and you’re ready to start healing, this book is for you.

Symptom of the Month Club

Listening to books on Audible while driving gets so much mileage with me—literally and emotionally. I have been listening to Nicole’s book on repeat. It has become a trusted companion, like she is riding shotgun with me. Her delivery, insight, and deep understanding of mind-body healing make Mind Over Body feel like both a science-backed manual and a comforting conversation. As someone whose pain symptoms rotate like a ‘symptom of the month’ club, Nicole’s work has helped me ride the waves with more awareness and return to a place of balance. I recommend this book to anyone cycling through pain without lasting resolution. It is full of lightbulb moments—and the relief that follows.

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.
