Welcome to the Hurt to Healing podcast with me, Pandora Morris. I’ve been fighting an uphill battle with my mental health for years and it’s only now that I’ve started to see some glimmers of light. It’s almost unbelievable to think I am starting this podcast considering my incessant compulsions would normally try to talk me out of it. But here I am, continuing to fight my invisible bullies one day at a time.
As part of my own recovery, I’ve made it my mission to support as many of you as possible on your own healing journey. I’ll be speaking to wonderful people from all walks of life who will open up about their own invisible struggles in the hope that it will provide a bit of solace and comfort for some of you. I’ll also be speaking to leading experts and doctors about different disorders and therapies that might help each of you expand your knowledge on the world of mental health.
Visit my website www.hurttohealing.co.uk to learn more about me and the work that I do.

Thank you
This has been like a warm hug and chat with close friend. Thank you for being so open and friendly helping educate us suffering with anxiety and struggling fit in.
A must listen - inciteful and honest
I don’t listen to many podcasts but I did listen to this one in the car where I could give it my undivided attention. I have always been curious about OCD not least because 25 years ago a friend had weird habits that I never knew was OCD and I don’t think he did. Pandora’s box of OCD rituals was illuminating, so similar to my friend’s. What I found really interesting iwas the unboxing of OCD and eating disorder - what worked and what did not. It is also great that she has the courage to share her experiences with others and I am sure her “life” lessons will be just as meaningful to others struggling with their own demons. Looking forward to Episode 2.
Wonderful and so helpful
This is such a perfect podcast….very real and tackling massive topics with huge heart. I’m finding it really helpful!
