This Might Hurt is a documentary that offers solutions to cure chronic pain. Three people enter a new treatment program run by Dr. Howard Schubiner that focuses on uncovering hidden causes of their pain, and retraining their brains to switch the pain off. Over several years, through ups and downs, each of them makes astonishing discoveries about the nature of their pain.

While only a handful of doctors are aware of the paradigm shown in this film, it’s quickly gaining recognition. Known as “EAET,” the treatment was featured on NPR, shown to be effective in a large randomized controlled trial, and recognized as a “pain management best practice” by the NIH’s task force to combat the opioid epidemic. This Might Hurt provides an in-depth exploration of this cutting-edge treatment, and suggests a path to healing for millions.
