| 5/12/26 | ![]() Are Your Judgy Thoughts a Defence Mechanism? (Hint: Probably) | You judge yourself for being judgy. Then you judge yourself for judging your judgeme—ok, we're already exhausted. In this episode Helen discusses how judgements are relevant to trauma work, and how to figure out what your judgy thoughts are actually trying to tell you. Your judgment isn't the enemy. It's pointing to something. This week, follow it. 🎙️ Listen on Spotify, Apple or Youtube 📩 Join the mailing list Follow Helen: @helenbillows | @thetraumanerd | 12m 32s | |
| 4/28/26 | ![]() Feeling Worse After EMDR Therapy? It Might Mean It's Working | “You might feel worse before you feel better”. It sounds like a disclaimer, a therapist butt-covering exercise if you will. I used to think so too. But after many years of doing trauma and EMDR therapy, I have learned that you can absolutely feel worse before you feel better. It is legit, but it does deserve some attention, because feeling worse and getting worse are not the same thing. That distinction changes everything about how you interpret what's happening when trauma therapy ge... | 15m 31s | |
| 4/14/26 | ![]() The Subtle Way Well-Intentioned Parents Leave Wounds (And How to Repair It) | You don't have to be a perfect parent. But there is one thing that makes an enormous difference to what your child thinks about themselves, and it's not whether you lose your temper. It's what you do after. Young children can't separate what happens around them from what it means about them. When a rupture goes unaddressed, a child's brain doesn't file it under "mum was stressed." It files it somewhere far more personal. Repeated enough, that filing system can shape how they move through ... | 13m 45s | |
| 3/31/26 | ![]() You Know It's Not True. So Why Does It Still Feel True? | 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 problem. It's actually a clue, and it's telling you something specific about what kind of belief you're dealing with. Because not all beliefs work the same way, and if you don't know which one you're up against, you can spend years doing the right work in the wron... | 18m 27s | |
| 3/17/26 | ![]() Feel Guilty All the Time? You're Taking Too Much Pie. | 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 distorts what actually happened and creates guilt that was never yours to carry. This episode covers: Why feeling responsible isn't the same as being responsibleHow the Responsibility Pie works and how to use itWhy chronic guilt is often a sign you're carrying slices that were ... | 17m 27s | |
| 3/3/26 | ![]() "I Didn't Mean It Like That!" — Why Impact Beats Intention | 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 relationships — confusing intention, outcome and responsibility. Good intentions don't erase harm. They don't replace an apology. And when "I didn't mean it" becomes the default response to someone's hurt, it stops being a clarification and starts being a dismissal. This episode build... | 12m 44s | |
| 2/17/26 | ![]() "Hurt People Hurt People." Great. Now Let's Talk About Accountability. | You've seen it everywhere. On social media, in the comments, maybe even from people who should probably know better. "Hurt people hurt people." The intention behind it isn't wrong, but somewhere along the way it became a get-out-of-jail-free card. And that's where Helen has a problem with it. Understanding someone's pain and excusing their behaviour are not the same thing — and conflating them causes real harm. This episode makes the case that accountability isn't the opposite of compas... | 27m 11s | |
| 2/3/26 | ![]() WTF is EMDR? | You've heard of EMDR. Maybe your therapist mentioned it, maybe you're on a waitlist for it, maybe you keep seeing it online and wondering if it's actually legit or another wellness trend with good branding. This episode is the honest, no-shortcuts explanation you've been looking for. Helen Billows — registered psychologist, EMDR therapist, and EMDR consultant — breaks down what EMDR actually is, how it works neurologically, and what happens in the room during a session. She covers the Adaptiv... | 26m 06s | |
| 1/6/26 | ![]() Welcome to The Trauma Nerd Podcast | Some people knit. Helen reads trauma research for funsies. And now you get the good bits, without spending your nights googling. The Trauma Nerd is where evidence-based psychology meets the real experience of trauma, EMDR, and what actually happens inside the therapy room. Hosted by psychologist and EMDR consultant Helen Billows, this show covers complex concepts without losing the human underneath them. Episodes run under 30 minutes. No shortcuts, no oversimplification, no wellness faff. If ... | 0m 58s |
