Summary

What a wonderful conversation I had with Kat Gemson, a lifelong TMSer and beloved admin of our Nicole Sachs' Support Circle community on Facebook. Kat grew up an only child (like me) and her mother struggled with alcoholism. She learned early that she needed to subdue her own needs to care for others, and so began her TMS journey. For years, Kat struggled, not knowing that there was a common genesis of all her pain and symptoms. When, through her discovery of the Curable app, she found my work, her healing really took off. Join us for a moving and heart-centered conversation about childhood struggles, pain, awakenings, hard work, and the life-saving force of community. I adore Kat, and her energy is so generously available to you all in our group. Join us here!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast with me, Nicole Sacks.
0:07.6	You are here.
0:13.5	Hello, my friends.
0:15.6	Hope today is a good day.
0:17.3	This is Nicole Sacks and you have reached my podcast, The Cure for Chronic Pain. Welcome to it.
0:22.7	I hope today is a good day. But if it isn't, look at you. You're here with me. And we are going to
0:29.1	just make it a tiny bit better. I have such a heart-centered interview for me today with Kat.
0:36.3	Kat is one of the admins on one of the big communities
0:40.7	that I've had for years. It used to be called JournalSpeak with Nicole Sachs. Now we have moved it to
0:46.5	Nicole Sachs Support Circle. It is such an incredible place of recovery and support. I cannot tell you I am not saying this to sell
0:58.3	something that I'm doing. I am saying this because literally when I watch what happens there,
1:05.1	the support and the community and people not doing this alone, I am moved beyond every single day. Nicole Sacks
1:13.4	Support Circle is a low-cost membership. It's $2.99 a month. Go to my website, nicolesax.com,
1:23.2	click on the membership tab, and you'll see the different levels of membership we have,
1:33.9	but the entry level is only $2.99 a month. I cannot tell you enough what goes on there. It's worth $299 a month, if not more, the therapy that is happening in this community. But anyway,
1:40.2	Kat is a core member of the admin group. Of course, as with all people that I've ever met
1:47.6	in this work, she comes by it. Honestly, she lived it in her own body in a very profound way.
1:54.4	So I invited her on the podcast today to talk about her own personal experience and to share
2:00.7	about what it is to help others.
2:03.2	You know, very, very long time ago when I was but a young girl who had graduated with my
2:11.8	credentials to eventually be a therapist but had not done anything with it. I remember talking to a colleague one day and she said to me, I think you're a healer,
2:24.5	which I thought was hilarious because I was like, a what?
