Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg

Caged by Belief, Freed by Truth, with Tim Pocock


Listen Later

You might know actor Tim Pocock from his roles in Dance Academy or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Even as a child, he graced the Sydney Opera House starring in operas directed by Baz Lurhman. 

But that world of artistic expression was in stark contrast to the other world Tim was part of for so long - one of repression by conservative catholicism under Opus Dei - made all the worse as he began to realise who he truly was.

In this chat, Tim reveals his experiences of shame, bullying and conversion therapy, as well as his journey toward healing, discovery and self-acceptance, and the ongoing work of undoing the trauma of the beliefs that kept him feeling trapped for so long. 

An inspiration for anyone who’s ever felt silenced or lived an inauthentic life, an insight into certain pockets of religious institutions and a vital plea for the parents of every LGBTIAQ+ child.

Check out Tim's book, the Truth Will Set You Free: Growing up Gay Under Opus Dei
