About this listen

The Trauma Nerd is a space for anyone who wants to understand trauma and the nervous system without needing a psychology degree (or a dictionary).


Hosted by Helen Billows, psychologist, trauma therapist, EMDR consultant, and self-professed nerd, the show breaks down big concepts into warm, grounded, genuinely helpful conversations.


Each episode is under 30 minutes and offers evidence-based insights, thoughtful reflections, and the occasional laugh. Whether you’re navigating your own trauma history, supporting someone you love, or you’re a clinician wanting digestible, well-informed discussions, this podcast is for you.


You’ll hear about trauma, memory, attachment, EMDR, and the messy, very human parts of healing in a way that is digestible, practical and dare we say… funny.


This is clear, compassionate psychology - from someone who seriously knows what she’s talking about.


New episodes drop every fortnight. Come learn, laugh, and nerd-out about trauma.
