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.Produced by Rutherford Productions Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ben West on turning tragedy into mental health advocacy
In this emotionally charged episode, we sit down with Ben West, a passionate mental health advocate and campaigner who has faced unimaginable challenges following the tragic suicide of his beloved brother. Ben shares his heart-wrenching story, recounting the painful experience of giving his brother CPR in a desperate attempt to save his life. The trauma of that fateful day has left an indelible mark on Ben's life, yet his journey through grief and loss has also been a profound teacher.
Through his own experiences, Ben has become a huge advocate for mental health awareness and education. He passionately emphasizes the importance of equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to recognise and address mental health issues. In this raw and honest conversation, Ben inspires us with his resilience and determination to ensure that no one suffers in silence, and that we all have the capacity to help and support each other in times of need. His mission is a powerful call to action for us all to prioritise mental well-being and foster a community of understanding and compassion.
