"I have always believed that stories heal in their own way, and The Surrender Agenda is an example of just that. With ballet-like precision, strength, and beauty Lorraine linguistically navigates a variety of complex and challenging topics. This book is a must-read for anyone feeling alone in what it’s like to really live in a hypermobile body."
- Alexandra Orfanides, M. Ost. BA (Hons) Hypermobility Specialist Osteopath
"Lorraine uses a variety of analogies to help the reader relate to a life lived with chronic pain and her journey to love her pain and work with her pain on a daily basis instead of trying to shut it out. I recommend this book wholeheartedly for those experiencing chronic pain and for their loved ones as a tool to understanding and self-help."
- Dr Lori Beth Bisbey, psychologist, speaker & author
"It is by embracing our truth and sharing it with the world to help others feel seen and heard that gives us purpose. This is what Lorraine has achieved with this book. She has distilled her unique insights into chronic pain with such clarity and humour that you will realise you are not alone. I hope this book inspires you to turn your pain into purpose so you can share your story to help others so they are inspired to do the same."

I'm Lorraine Ansell, content creator, writer and speaker.
I live in pain due to a genetic incurable connective tissue condition - Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
I create, talk and write what I know - PAIN.
Several issues with my tissues means that curiously creating is my way of soothing my pain as well as raising awareness of thriving in pain.
