This film dramatically shows that illness is no random misfortune.

Is Your Story Making You Sick? is a documentary revealing the science and practice of how individuals battling addiction, PTSD, and depression can heal by re-examining the stories they tell themselves. The film takes an intimate look at eight people from all walks of life as they confront difficult stories over four workshops spanning six months. Viewers witness participants as they rewrite their stories and transcend their pain.

Is Your Story Making You Sick? continues to reach audiences through its national PBS Broadcast and in partnership with hospitals, recovery organizations, and educational institutions for CEU-credited presentations.

This film shows how the stories we tell ourselves about drugs hijacking the brain ignore the real causes of distress.
