Hello everybody, this is Nicole Sacks, LCSW, and welcome to the very first podcast, The

Cure for Chronic Pain.

I am so happy to be with you today.

I've been wanting to do a podcast for quite a while and I finally got it together to do

it.

And so I'm here today for episode one.

Now I know a lot of people who have heard about my work have heard my personal story,

but I figured if I'm going to do a podcast and I'm going to start from the beginning,

then I need to tell my story in its entirety to those of you who may be hearing my voice

for the very first time.

So I will give you a little background on me and then I'm going to start from the beginning.

And after you listen to this podcast, you will know me a little bit and you will be ready

to start hearing about my work and about the ways in which you can heal yourself.

But before you hear about how to heal yourself, I think it's really important for you to

hear how I healed myself because I know a really big part of my being able to be a teacher

and a person who can enlighten others on their chronic pain journey is because I've had

one myself.

And so so much of my empathy and my knowledge and my experience have come from working with

my own body.

So I figured let's start this podcast, episode one, by talking about what happened to

me and how it has shaped my life.

It has built my humanity and it has allowed me to live a life free of all chronic pain.
