The Trauma Nerd
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.
