ENDING THE PAIN DOCUMENTARY RECEIVES 5 STAR REVIEWS FROM THE PHYSCOANALYTIC INSTITUTE COURSE IN ST. LOUIS
“Ending the Pain” is an extraordinary film that I recently used for an advanced course for mental health clinicians on the topic of Suicide. The film beautifully conveyed the intricacies of the diverse internal psychological worlds of those who are suffering with suicidal thoughts. It’s a film that will make you think and re-think your assumptions about what is expected of us as humans at the most harrowing and haunting moments of our lives, when we ache and sob and find no solace. The film sketched a nuanced and complex portrait of what it takes to ‘hold on’ at those moments and the extraordinary possibility of beauty and joy when life’s most difficult moments are traversed.
