Most trauma content online is either too clinical to be useful or too vague to be trusted. This is neither. The Trauma Nerd is a podcast for the person who has carried this long enough to know it isn't going anywhere on its own — and has decided it stops with her. Intergenerational wounding, attachment, trauma therapy, EMDR, and the science of why the body stays stuck long after the mind makes sense of things. Hosted by Helen Billows. Registered psychologist, EMDRAA-accredited EMDR consultant, and founder of a full-time trauma therapy practice in Adelaide, South Australia. Expect clinical honesty, zero shortcuts, and a host who thinks she's funnier than she actually is. New episodes fortnightly.

You've had the insight. Someone laid out a completely airtight case for why the belief you hold about yourself is wrong. You saw it, you agreed, it made total sense. And then absolutely nothing changed. This is not a you
Do you have a chronic case of the guilts? You're probably carrying more than your share. Most people assume responsibility is simple: either it's your fault or it isn't. But that binary rarely gets you to the truth. It d
You've heard it. You've probably said it. "I didn't mean it like that." And maybe that's true. But it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. This episode unpacks one of the most common damaging patterns in relation
