Is Your Story Making You Sick?
A Deep Dive Into the Film Reshaping Recovery

C4 Events is offering a special limited viewing of the documentary, Is Your Story Making You Sick?, followed by a live discussion and Q&A. Simply watch the film anytime from September 27 – October 2 (link to film is available when you register for the webinar). Then on October 2nd, those who have viewed the film, can attend a live discussion and Q&A led by the film’s writer and producer, Mark Pirtle, DPT and impact producer, Nick Kelso.

Is Your Story Making You Sick? chronicles eight people from all walks of life as they bravely confront their stories and work through a variety of stress-related illnesses including depression, anxiety, addictions, and PTSD. Like all people, these courageous participants carry the imprint of their past within their body-mind system. That imprint is their story. It determines their emotions and can even make them sick. Using a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities including ethics-based mindfulness, meditation, somatic experiencing, shamanic practices, shadow and dream work, and more, facilitators guide the group to higher perspectives, a new story, change, and healing. Expert interviews of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Dan Siegel, Ellen Langer PhD, Carl Hart PhD, Bruce Lipton PhD, Dr. Lissa Rankin, Dr. Ann Marie Chiasson, Eric Garland PhD, and others, inject credible science into the narrative. Learn from the film’s program director, Dr. Mark Pirtle, ask questions, and take home an evidence-based framework for narrative medicine you can immediately use with your clients.
