The Trauma Nerd Podcast
The Trauma Nerd is a psychology podcast where evidence-based trauma education meets the realities of therapy, EMDR, and healing — with a healthy sense of humour.
Or as I like to put it: trauma education that doesn't sound like it was written by a wellness influencer.
Short, focused episodes. Clear explanations. Zero faff.
What this podcast is (and isn’t)
Who it’s for
What to expect
This podcast is for people who want trauma education that is thoughtful, ethical, and grounded in actual research.
It is not motivational fluff, pseudoscience, or annoying “ground yourself” advice delivered with a ukulele soundrack.
Episodes stay under 30 minutes. No rambling. No filler.
