Juliette Burton

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 70 with my guest Juliette Burton, an award-winning comedian who is also an ambassador for Rethink Mental Illness.

At one point in her life, Juliette was diagnosed with 13 different mental health conditions and over the years she has battled OCD, anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, separation anxiety disorder, anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder.

She has been in and out of therapy for 20 years and doing a lot of self-work has given her an incredible understanding of her brain, her thoughts, emotions and her actions.

Juliette’s new show is called No Brainer and is all about neuroscience and why her brain sometimes makes her behave in a way that’s against her values and principles.  She has done an incredible amount of research in to this and it was fascinating to hear all about it.

We also chat about diagnosis, the therapeutic process, doing the work and trying to deal with regrets.  It’s a deep dive and I enjoyed it immensely!

You can grab tickets and check dates for Juliette’s new and future shows via her website
