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.

Lisa Bryer on her addiction to heroin and the moment she asked for help
On today’s episode, I am joined by Lisa Bryer, a film and documentary producer who is best known for producing the epic box office success, The Last King of Scotland, which won an Oscar and many BAFTA awards. Considering her phenomenal success you might wonder why Lisa is here today but as you will soon discover, she battled with an addiction to drugs including heroin for eight years. After a friend recommended that she attend Narcotic Anonymous, she realised that she could break the cycle of drug use and she eventually managed to overcome her addiction. Today Lisa is still sober and spends a lot of her time helping other addicts. I’m so in awe of her recovery and I’m sure her story will inspire so many others.
