The PBS Documentary
Is Your Story Making You Sick?
Directed by Frances Causey
“This film dramatically shows that illness is a product of our experience and how we interpret it.”
Is Your Story Making You Sick? shows how we can rewrite the stories we tell ourselves. The film intimately reveals individuals living with addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety changing their stories and transcending their pain. Witness real-life stories of courage and resilience and learn the backstory from experts like Gabor Maté and Dan Siegel.
