[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. Lisa and Nicole explore how body image issues are tied to familiar and controllable thoughts, which the brain uses as a safety mechanism. They discuss the societal pressures and personal struggles related to body image.

Nicole acknowledges that some people may fear the open space that comes with healing and transformation, and emphasizes the importance of addressing these fears.

[36:46:04] Lisa discusses the fear of discovering life without chronic pain, while Nicole emphasizes that the real issue is an epidemic of fear, not pain. Nicole describes the healing process as taking small, manageable steps and not needing to figure everything out at once.
