[3:34] Nicole and Lisa discuss how chronic conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue are linked to a dysregulated nervous system and repressed emotions. They examine how body image issues are seen as a form of perfectionism projected onto the physical body, which can be linked to repressed emotions and chronic conditions, as well. Nicole outlines a three-step process: believe, do the work, and practice patience and kindness to heal chronic conditions by addressing repressed emotions.

[11:45] Nicole discusses how chronic pain is often linked to repressed emotions and the nervous system’s response to perceived threats. The conversation emphasizes the importance of addressing these emotions to alleviate chronic symptoms.
