Part 2 of a series in Chronic Pain. Anna talks through 5 somatic tools that you can use to cope better with chronic pain. She shares some examples from her own healing journey and how she used these tools to cope with headaches, shoulder and neck pains that were part of her illness experience.
Anna discusses the link between fatigue, mood disorders and chronic pain. Although these conditions are often not well supported with traditional medicine, they can be unravelled and addressed if you have the patience and commitment to do so. The majority of the episode focuses on chronic pain and the mechanisms that contribute to heightened pain sensitivity, including how to evaluate and address them.
We’ve all been there. We feel like we’re doing “everything right” and yet continue to feel worse. When the whole point is to feel less fatigued and less exhausted it can be easy to resist relapses in energy. However, being able to connect with and embrace our experience can offer valuable lessons that will move the healing journey forward. Listen for a deeper discussion.
Anna opens up a conversation about privilege and healing. Some people will have more privileges in their healing journey which may make their healing journey “easier” and others may have less privileges in their journey which may make it “harder” to heal. Whatever the case, moving through a chronic illness experience is painful. This episode is designed to make you think and reflect and perhaps consider where you are focusing on your own disadvantages too much, which could be a roadblock to healing.

In this episode Anna highlights the things she felt made the biggest difference in her own recovery journey. She acknowledges that the journey isn’t linear; there are different stages of healing and not all of them look like progress. She finishes with a general share of things that are working for her clients as inspiration for things to explore.
Grief is an inevitable part of healing. In this episode Anna talks about her own experience of grief in her healing journey. She shares a framework for understanding grief and somatic and mindset tools for working with grief in your day to day life.
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance may be part of the complex web of imbalances in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and other chronic illnesses. MCAS can be associated with pain, cognitive dysfunction, brain fog, sensitivity to light and sound or intolerance to chemicals and smells. Many of these symptoms, and more, go hand in hand with those who experience a chronic illness. This doesn’t mean that everyone who experiences chronic fatigue or a chronic illness will have MCAS or histamine intolerance but it is something to consider as you work on supporting all of your body’s needs. In this episode Anna covers the what and the how.
We’ve all been there. You feel like you are doing everything but nothing seems to be working. You’ve hit a plateau or you’ve gone backwards in your healing. In this episode Anna offers support around the experience of hopelessness including a trauma-informed framework to move from the powerlessness that accompanies lack of hope to a more powerful state. She wraps up the episodes by challenging the belief “Nothing is working” by offering a checklist to make sure that is really true.
In part 2 of this series Anna covers communication, needs and a framework for understanding relationship dynamics. The goal of the episode is to support communication so that both the illness experiencer and their supporters have their needs met. The relationship framework will help deepen your understanding of your relationships so that you are not left disappointed (and unsupported) when your expectations are not met.
