OCD, poetry and the day that Georgia Lock's brain broke

The Proper Mental Podcast

Welcome to episode 199 with Georgia Lock, who is an actor, poet and an advocate for obsessive compulsive disorder.

In this episode I chat to Georgia about the moment that her ‘brain broke’ and OCD became a part of her life.

We chat about what happened next, what helped looked like for her and how she manages her OCD on a day-to-day basis.

We chat about things like guilt, memory loss, community, going mental and being scared of your own brain.

Georgia uses poetry to explore and understand her diagnosis of OCD and has held workshops to help others to do the same and we chat about being creative and using words to take back control of your story.

It’s a powerful conversation about what it’s like to lose your mind and work to get it back again and it was a wonderful experience to hear Georgia’s story first hand.
