Goooooood evening! We're back with another crowd favourite...clinical psychologist and Black Birds mum, Georgia Ash. On today's episode Georgia shares her expert advice on dealing with social distancing and dealing with anxiety in the time of covid-19. If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by the current pandemic (and really, who isn't?) listen out for Georgia's practical tips and exercises for keeping yourself grounded and present. We also chat about the covid conspiracy theories and uninformed health opinions that are floating around (shout out to Pete Evans and the Medical Medium). Also! Georgia tells the very interesting (and sad) story of the 'Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male' and how studies like this have contributed to a lack of trust of government and healthcare and provide a bit of understanding of why some conspiracies are so widely believed.P.S. There's a point in the podcast when I say 'NHP' and I definitely mean 'NHS'You can keep up to date with Black Birds via our IG @bl.ckb.rds or my IG @eeshashIf you have a suggestion for a guest, an episode or just wanna say hi (!!) you can email us at [email protected]
