Chronic pain isn’t just physical.
It is often a learned threat response.

An evidence-based approach to chronic pain that goes beyond diagnosis and

targets the nervous system patterns keeping pain active.

Not symptom management. Pattern change.

Chronic pain is not just something you endure.

It’s something your nervous system has learned to do in response to pressure, threat, and overload.

When that system stays activated long enough, pain can persist, even when you have the diagnosis, or scans are clear, and you’re doing “all the right things.”

This guide introduces a different way forward.

What you’ll learn inside this guide:

This is not a mindset reset, a quick fix, or a plan to push through discomfort.

Instead, you’ll learn the three foundational steps I use with clients to reduce pressure at the nervous system level, so your body no longer has to rely on pain to protect you.

These steps are simple, grounded, and designed to work with your system, not against it.

Understand why pain persists
Learn how stress, perfectionism, and repeated threat responses train the nervous system to stay on high alert, long after the original injury or trigger has passed.
Interrupt the pressure–pain cycle
Identify the subtle patterns that keep reinforcing pain and begin reducing the internal pressure your system has been carrying.
Build your own Anti-Threat System
Create a personalized framework that supports safety, regulation, and sustainable energy, without forcing your body to comply.

This guide is for you if…

You live with chronic pain and feel stuck in a push–crash cycle.

You’re functional, capable, and tired of muscling through.

You want a science-based explanation that actually matches your lived experience.

You’re ready to approach pain differently, not harder.

This is not designed for people looking for reassurance, a cure, or another strategy to override their body.

I’m Dr. Anna Redmond, a clinical psychologist specializing in chronic pain and mind–body recovery.

First, and most importantly:

✨ I believe your pain is real.
✨ I believe your recovery is possible
✨ And I believe you shouldn’t have to earn relief by working harder for it.

My work integrates pain psychology, nervous system regulation, and values-aligned behavior change to address how pain is learned, reinforced, and sustained over time, particularly in people who are driven, conscientious, and highly capable.

This guide reflects the foundation of that work and I'm so excited for you to take a look!
