Learn my Anti-Threat system to conquer pain and thrive 👇🏼

https://drannaredmond.com/guide It is becoming a roadblock to your ambition.

You are a highly motivated woman living with persistent musculoskeletal pain. Like so many women, your pain is becoming more sensitive, widespread, and impactful in each moment. To everything that once held meaning for you. You’ve been let down by the medical model. You’re frustrated by your progress, despite investing so much time and energy into your health. You’ve even wondered if it’s time to just accept the mediocre results you’ve had. Whether cycling between under-active and fearful, overactive and crashing, or generally feeling held back from living the life you want, there is a place for you here. Pain doesn’t have to be in charge of your life. I believe there is another way. Here, you will learn things that no one has taught you about your pain. You will learn to understand and desensitize your body so that you can feel safe in it again. Your everyday experiences can change your brain - to work for you or against you. We call this “neuroplasticity”, and it’s your brain’s ability to adapt and respond to your environment. With pain experiences, neuroplasticity can work against you by turning up the volume on your pain. Using positive aspects of neuroplasticity, you will learn powerful methods to reorganize the nervous system’s response to pain, finding healing with everyday experiences. Once you are looking at pain through a fresh, new lens, you will begin to build forward momentum, get back to being productive, and reduce the noise of pain. You’ll have the space to enjoy the life you have designed for yourself. I help goal-driven women living with chronic pain to stop fighting with their body and design a life that is bigger than their pain. With over a decade of experience, I’ve specialized in working with patients suffering from long-standing pain and the physical impact of stress on their bodies. Together, we approach pain educationally from all angles - personal, physical, behavioral. We start with small changes that add up to big goals, and we reconceptualize everything you think you know about pain. You may feel like you’ve tried everything and have heard it all before, but you CAN learn a new way of thinking about pain. My education provides daily opportunities to retrain the nervous system to respond in a different way. It goes far beyond stretching and positive thinking. It works by changing how your brain responds to pain - and that changes everything. With small changes, we can see the emergence of a new level of confidence, stamina, and thoughtful awareness in your everyday life. After learning from me, you’ll walk away with new, powerfully effective skills for long-term wellness, so that you can take back control of your time and intentionally create the life you’ve been craving. Welcome to the community of action takers who refuse to let pain rule their life.

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling smaller, more fragile, or convinced your body is broken? You are not imagining it. Words matter.

Fear-filled phrases like degeneration, damage, or incurable spike your nervous system into threat mode and make recovery harder.

Here is the shift. Language can also build safety, capacity, and hope.

Advocacy is not confrontation. It is clarity. You can speak up without being difficult or dismissed.

Try this.
✨ Could we use language that emphasizes safety and building capacity

This simple shift rewires your nervous system toward trust, confidence, and healing. You deserve more than symptom management. You deserve care that sees your whole story.

🌿 Ready to reclaim your energy, confidence, and joy? My Breaking Through Pain Membership helps women make this shift real with strategies that actually work.

Being in tune with your body is a strength, not a flaw.

For many women with chronic pain, sharing observations, sensations, or concerns at medical appointments can feel like “too much.” We’re often made to feel dismissed, dramatic, or hypervigilant.

Here’s the truth: your awareness is powerful. Noticing patterns and sharing them gives your providers valuable information. The key is knowing the line between healthy attunement and hypervigilance.

✨ Tips:
• Pay attention to your body without judgment.
• Write down changes, flares, or sensations.
• Bring them as data to appointments — not proof something is wrong, but as a way to collaborate.
• If fear takes over, that’s hypervigilance. Ground yourself with breath, movement, or a nervous system reset.

This is from EP 11: Claiming Your Voice — how self-awareness becomes advocacy, not anxiety.

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m a psychologist and chronic pain coach who helps women translate pain science into real-life relief.

Most programs focus on doing more, pushing harder, or “fixing” symptoms without addressing the real cause. You don’t need more wellness noise or another routine to keep up with.

I teach women tools that help their brain and body work together, calm the nervous system, rebuild safety, and create relief that actually works in real life. Recovery isn’t about perfection, it’s about moving, resting, and living again with more freedom and less fear.

💬 I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message and introduce yourself, tell me about your pain journey, what’s been most challenging, and what relief would feel like for you.

Have you noticed how chronic pain makes you shrink yourself?
Not just in movement, but in who you let yourself be.

One client said something that stopped me in my tracks:

“I’ve never even considered what my values are. I’ve been living by everyone else’s. Now I’m finally defining mine without judgment.”

That is the heart of recovery. 🌿

Nervous system healing is not only about easing symptoms.
It is about creating enough safety inside yourself to make different choices.

When you reconnect with your values, something shifts.
The inner critic quiets.
The all-or-nothing thinking softens.
Your energy returns to what truly matters.

Here is why that matters.
Each time you live by someone else’s expectations, your nervous system stays in protection mode.
When you live by your own values, your brain learns safety and freedom, two of the strongest signals for reducing pain.

✨ This is not just pain management. It is remembering who you are.

So let me ask you:
💭 What values do you want to start living by today?

26/10/2025

For too long, women’s pain has been dismissed.
Brushed off. Minimized. Labeled as “just symptoms.” ✨

But you are not a checklist of symptoms.
You are a whole human with a story, a nervous system, and a life that deserves to be understood. 🌱

Quick fixes cannot touch that.
Real recovery starts when your care finally reflects you: your biology, your psychology, and your world.

Advocating for yourself is not being difficult.
It is being clear, grounded, and unapologetic about the kind of care you deserve. 💪

Start small.
Ask one question.
Set one non-negotiable.
Say one thing out loud that honors your body.

Each time you do, the system shifts a little closer to what women truly need.

💬 What is one boundary or non-negotiable that changed how you are treated? Tell me below. I would love to celebrate that with you.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like a flare-up means you’re sliding backwards, you’re not alone. 💭

But flare-ups aren’t proof of damage, they’re your nervous system trying to protect you. And once you see them as information (not failure), they lose their power.

This is exactly what I broke down in EP 10: Debunking Chronic Pain Myths, where I shared how to reframe flare-ups so they feel less scary and more manageable. 🎙️

With the right tools, breathing, gentle movement, and smart pacing, you can shorten flare-ups and prevent them from controlling your life. 🌿

✨ Comment VAULT below and I’ll send you the Flare Decoder Flowchart inside the Pain Recovery Vault so you can start applying this today.

You’ve worked on your body — PT, stretching, meds, massage — and maybe felt some relief.
But deep down, you know something’s missing.

💡 Here’s the truth: chronic pain isn’t just physical.
It’s biological, psychological, and social.

When you only focus on muscles, you’re treating 1/3 of the problem.
No wonder the cycle keeps repeating.

I hear the resistance all the time:
❓ “But if I stop working on my body, won’t I get worse?”

The answer is no, because what your nervous system needs most is safety, not punishment.

🌱 Real, lasting recovery happens when you combine body care with nervous system regulation and daily life design.
That’s how you rebuild energy, confidence, and trust in your body, without living in fear of the next flare.

🧠 Did you know your brain’s #1 job isn’t to report pain accurately… it’s to protect you?

There’s a powerful story I share in EP 10: Debunking Chronic Pain Myths: A construction worker once had a 6-inch nail go straight through his boot. He was in agony, needed sedation, and couldn’t tolerate anyone touching it. But when the boot was finally removed, doctors realized the nail had slipped perfectly between his toes. No damage. No injury.

👉 His pain was 100% real. But it came from what his brain believed was happening — not the actual state of his body.

This is why you can hurt without harm. Chronic pain isn’t always about “broken tissues.” It’s often your nervous system sounding the alarm too loudly because it feels threatened. And here’s the good news: alarms can be reset. An overprotective nervous system can be retrained.

✨ If you’ve lived with pain for 6+ months and scans look “fine,” your pain is still real — but your path forward isn’t fixing tissues. It’s calming, retraining, and building safety with your nervous system.

If you’ve ever thought, “Movement just makes my pain worse,” you’re not alone. Many women living with chronic pain fear that daily tasks will trigger a setback.

But here’s the truth: gentle, paced activity can dial down pain when done with strategy—not force.

✔️ Light movement blocks pain signals and reduces stiffness.
✔️ The sweet spot is “sore but safe,” not “push until you crash.”
✔️ Even modest increases in activity improve function over time.

Try this today:
1️⃣ Pick one daily task (like dishes or a 5-minute walk).
2️⃣ Start below your usual threshold, stop while it still feels okay, and repeat later.
3️⃣ Add a 60-second “body anchor” (wall push, hand squeeze, or shoulder rolls) before and after to signal safety.
4️⃣ Check in two hours later, adjust the dose, not the goal.

This is how you build trust with your body again, step by step, without fear of flare-ups controlling your life.

💬 Tell me in the comments: What one small activity will you try with pacing today?

Have you ever wondered if chronic pain has quietly stolen your future plans? 🌿

One of my clients thought her dream trip to the Grand Canyon might stay on the “someday” list forever. Pain had dictated her pace for too long, and the fear of flare-ups always felt louder than her excitement.

Here’s what changed everything: she applied pacing strategies, nervous system retraining, and practical tools — the kind you’ll find in my Rapid Relief Starter Kit.

The result? She hiked the Grand Canyon without her pain dominating the trip. Some days were slower, yes, but the fear was gone and the joy returned.

This is the power of combining science-backed strategies with self-compassion. 🌟 The longer pain patterns go unchallenged, the more sensitive your nervous system becomes. With neuroplasticity, you can retrain those patterns and reclaim the experiences that matter most — whether it’s travel, family time, or simply moving through your day with confidence.

🌿 Take a moment today: what’s one dream you want to bring back into reach?

💌 If you’re ready to start reclaiming your life now, grab my Rapid Relief Starter Kit. It’s packed with actionable strategies to reduce pain, calm your nervous system, and start moving again with confidence. Tap the link in bio or comment RELIEF to get started.

Most of us were taught that pain equals damage.

But the truth is once tissues heal, usually within 3 to 6 months, pain can linger. Not because your body is broken, but because your nervous system has become overprotective.

🧠 Your brain turns pain up when it senses threat and turns it down when it feels safe. Your pain is real, but it is not always a damage signal.

Try this today:
✨ Swap “I’m damaged” for “My nervous system is being protective.”
✨ Do a 60-second safety reset (inhale 4, hold 2, exhale 6).
✨ Notice one moment when your pain softened during a pleasant activity.

These small shifts retrain your brain to see movement and life as safe again. 🌱

💬 I’d love to hear from you. Share one thought or action that helps you feel safe when pain spikes.
And if you want more practical strategies like this, type VAULT and I’ll send you the link to the Pain Recovery Vault, where women get step-by-step tools to reduce overprotection, reclaim energy, and move through life with confidence again.

They’ve tried it all: doctors, diets, supplements, PT, mindset hacks.
And yet the pain is still there.
The frustration. The shame of “failing.” The feeling that nothing works.

Here’s the truth. You are not broken.
You have just been given one-size-fits-all advice that was never built for you.

✨ I am Dr. Anna Redmond, psychologist and chronic pain coach.
I help women uncover their personal blueprint for relief without toxic positivity, life overhauls, or endless hustle.

Recovery should fit your life, not take it over.
