A film by Holly Fisher

With Rob Pike

This film is not a book plug and not a self-help tape, but simply an offering –– framing may be a better word –– of some thoughts about psychology, pain, placebo, and remedy. What follows is a discussion between Rob Pike (cousin) and myself (filmmaker) about his extraordinary no-cost cure following years of struggle with chronic back, leg, and migraine misery. Unbeknownst to the other, it was by dumb luck that we discovered our shared advocacy of Healing Back Pain and other writings of Dr. John Sarno. By giving shape to the telling of Rob’s story we are hoping to inspire openness to a way of thinking about and beyond physical dis-ease, toward genuine healing.
