Description

Welcome to the brain of a booked-out trauma psychologist.


Sick of talking about it, and coping strategies that just put a band-aid on the problem?


Helen Billows is a registered psychologist, EMDRAA-accredited EMDR consultant, and one of a handful of psychologists selected to help facilitate EMDR training across Australia.


Expect the accurate version of "why am I like this" (and, more importantly, the "what do I actually do about it") drawn from a Master of Clinical Psychology and more than 7,000 EMDR sessions.


Clinical honesty, no faffy bs, and a host who thinks she's funnier than she actually is.


New episodes fortnightly.
