Recovery Without Judgment: Addiction, Anxiety & Healing Through Writing

What keeps people trapped in addiction, anxiety, and panic isn’t weakness — it’s unresolved trauma, fear, and the absence of safe frameworks for recovery. In this episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, Geraldine speaks with Eshel Ozer, an Israeli writer and author, about addiction, panic attacks, depersonalization, and recovery through lived experience. Eshel shares how writing, self-observation, and harm-reduction principles helped him rebuild agency and repair his relationship with coping mechanisms. This conversation moves beyond abstinence versus indulgence and into awareness, choice, and personal responsibility, offering grounded insight into healing, emotional regulation, and long-term recovery.
